Timeline

1943

Arturo Ripstein y Rosen (born December 13, 1943) is a Mexican film director and screenwriter.

Considered the "Godfather of independent Mexican cinema", Ripstein's work is generally characterized by "somber, slow-paced, macabre melodramas tackling existential loneliness", often with a grotesque-like edge.

He is a nine-time Ariel Award winner, including five for Best Picture and two for Best Director.

Three of his films have been nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Of Polish Jewish descent, Ripstein was born in Mexico City on 13 December 1943, to producer Alfredo Ripstein and Frida Rosen.

He developed an interest in filmmaking from a young age due to his family's proximity, and made short films as a teenager.

He met Luis Buñuel after seeing Nazarín, and they developed a close mentor-student relationship that lasted until Bunuel's death.

1962

After working as Bunuel's uncredited assistant director on The Exterminating Angel (1962), Ripstein got his break into movies working learning from Luis Buñuel.

1965

In 1965, he directed Tiempo de morir, his first feature.

Written by Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez, it began a tradition of making independent films written by high-profile Latin-American authors.

1981

His 1981 film Seduction was entered into the 12th Moscow International Film Festival.

1989

His 1989 film Love Lies was entered into the 16th Moscow International Film Festival.

Some of Ripstein's films, especially the earlier ones, "highlighted characters beset by futile compulsions to escape [their] destinies".

Many of his films are shot in tawdry interiors, with bleak brown color schemes, and seedy pathetic characters who manage to achieve a hint of pathos and dignity.

Así es la vida, according to Jonathan Crow, "boldly reworks the ancient Greek drama Medea, employing a dizzying array of flashbacks and Brechtian devices".

Deep Crimson, according to the New York Times, is "a ferociously anti-romantic portrait of an obese nurse and a seedy small-time gigolo whose bungling scheme to swindle a succession of lonely women out of their life savings turns into a killing spree."

1997

In 1997, he received the prestigious National Prize for Arts and Sciences for his contributions to Mexican cinema.

He was the second filmmaker (after Luis Buñuel) to receive that honour.

In 1997, Ripstein won the National Prize of Arts and Sciences, the second filmmaker after Buñuel to do so.

Ripstein is married to screenwriter Paz Alicia Garciadiego, with whom he has two children.

2003

In 2003, the two received honorary Spanish citizenship.
