It’s been a minute since we checked in on Máximo, old and young, and Las Colinas. Actually, it’s been like 16 months in the real world, which is why it was a wise choice for the “Acapulco” Season 3 trailer to open with the exposition it did.
Máximo (Eugenio Derbez): “Hugo, do you remember where my rags-to-riches life story left off? It all started with a job as Las Colinas. I told you about my big promotion and Julia and I getting together — but there’s still so much more I haven’t told you.”
Smash Cut To: Season 2’s big cliffhanger moment. Oh that’s right, (old) Máximo has a grownup daughter we didn’t even know about. The trailer doesn’t really get into that storyline, but certainly the season will.

When wide-eyed, ambitious Maximo (Enrique Arrizon) looks at the gleaming pink hotel that’s overlooked Acapulco his entire life, he sees opportunities and riches he can’t get anywhere else in his town circa 1984. He sees a way out of poverty, a chance to dream, an escape from the mundane. When his mother (Vanessa Bauche) looks at Las Colinas, however, she sees not just a den of sin, but a nest of sirens that will lure her children away for the superficial glory of serving white tourists who will forget their waitstaff the moment they fall out of view.
In “Acapulco,” a new Apple TV Plus comedy from Austin Winsberg, Eduardo Cisneros and Jason Shuman, the truth lies somewhere in between. As a Las Colinas pool boy, Maximo’s natural instincts and charm quickly make him a hotel staple, which helps him towards his goal of funding his mother’s eye surgery.

Leading Latin American animation studio Ánima has launched a dedicated adult-young adult division and announced that later this year it will begin production on “El Santos,” a serialized version of the company’s 2012 comic book-inspired feature “El Santos vs la Tetona Mendoza.”
The star-studded, landmark film established Ánima as not only a regional powerhouse of Mexican animation, but a leading creator of cartoon content internationally, and was the company’s first production to screen at France’s prestigious Annecy Animation Festival.
2022 will mark Ánima’s 20th anniversary. After nearly two decades of producing content almost exclusively for the kids and family market, Ánima co-founders Fernando De Fuentes Sainz, CEO, and José C. García de Letona, COO, knew the time was right to reach out to a new demographic.
“We’ve seen so much appetite from platforms and networks for content that’s animated for adults and young adults,” García de Letona explained to Variety.

Arturo Ripstein's Spanish-language Mexican film is based on the same true story that inspired the film "The Honeymoon Killers", and it provides a similar blend of black humor and horror.
"Deep Crimson" is, if it can be imagined, an even more uncompromising and outrageous take on the story than that 1970 cult favorite, and its stronger elements may turn off even audiences that have become hardened by innumerable serial killer tales. It opened commercially this week at New York's Film Forum after being showcased at the New York Film Festival.
Set in 1949, "Deep Crimson" tells the tale of the unholy alliance between two utterly repugnant characters. Coral (Regina Orozco) is an obese nurse with two small children, and Nicolas Daniel Gimenez Cacho) is a balding Lothario who styles himself after Charles Boyer and cons unsuspecting, love-starved women.
When Coral answers one of Nicolas' personal ads and the two meet, he steals her money and sneaks out of her house after a night of lovemaking. Rather than being disheartened, she abandons her children and pursues him. They decide to operate as a team, posing as brother and sister so Nicolas can seduce and rob their victims. The problem is that Coral starts to become insanely jealous and soon adds murder to their list of activities.
The film's entire cast of characters, from murderers to victims, is as grotesque a lot as can be imagined, and director Ripstein garners as much comic mileage from them as possible. Gradually, though, he intensifies the proceedings, and a final double-murder of a sympathetic young woman and her young child is presented in a brutally horrific fashion that undercuts the audience's expectations.
"Deep Crimson" is a deeply unsettling film that ultimately lacks the depth or perspective to make its repugnant subject matter palatable. Ripstein does, however, have a true sense of style; he has expertly shot the film in muddy, brownish colors that provide further alienation from the proceedings. And he has garnered superb performances from the cast, particularly the leads, who create two of the more memorable villains in recent history.
