Bilgi :Legendary Mexican director Arturo Ripstein explores the mundane and sexual obsession in 1940s Mexico in his 2002 film The Virgin of Lust. Introverted Ignacio "Nacho" Jurado (Luis Felipe Tovar) spends his days waiting tables at the Cafe Ofelia and his nights amongst his voluminous erotic collection. His world is turned upside-down when a putana named Lola (Ariadne Gil) begins hanging out at the cafe. Nacho is immediately smitten with her, but Lola's mind is focused on a very brutish wrestler who'll have nothing to do with her. Lola, a natural sadist, recognizes Nacho's penchant for being dominated and she begins to fully exploit this chance to unleash her cruelty on a willing recipient. As the relationship settles into its regular perverseness, Nacho is presented with what he sees as an opportunity to capture Lola's heart completely -- to become a macho revolutionary hero by assassinating Francisco Franco. The Virgin of Lust was chosen for inclusion into the Upstream program at the 2002 Montreal World Film Festival, winning a Special Mention prize from that program's jury. - Mexico, 1940s: In the dreamlike atmosphere of the Ofelia Café, El Mikado, a lonely waiter with penchants for opera and erotica, falls under the spell of Lola, a sadistic Spanish putana hooked on booze and opium. Ripstein's depiction of sexual obsession is at once hallucinatory, ironic and operatic. Once we're there, he leaves us to draw our own moral and philosophical conclusions.
