The Devil Smokes (and Saves the Burnt Matches in the Same Box), dir. Ernesto Martínez Bucio, Mexico 2025, Spanish with English subtitles
Book tickets
When Pope John Paul II visits Mexico, a boisterous cluster of siblings are abandoned by their parents and left in the care of a relative who has minimal contact with the outside world and insists on keeping the children indoors. A busy, handheld camera captures the confusion of the younger siblings as elder sister Vanessa desperately tries to hold the family together.
