I am a Brit happily married to a Mexicana for many years and lived in Mexico for a number of years.
La Perla is a photographic masterpiece of significant beauty and well worth seeing for the magnificence of the incredible use of natural light to highlight the scenery.
In addition to the two main stars the cast contains a number of actors whose work I have enjoyed immensely and the scenes depicting the singing and dancing at the local fiesta bring back to me countless memories of pleasure during my life in that beautiful country.
This film really does reflect the Golden Years of the Mexican Fim Industry.
