In the Pit (En El Hoyo)

In the Pit (En El Hoyo)

Presented by Northern Arizona University, College of Arts and Letters at Liberal Arts Building, Rm. 120

Director, Juan Carlos Rulfo. Mexico, 2006. 84 min.

IN THE PIT demonstrates in starkly realistic detail why Mexicans have a proverb warning that the devil demands a soul for every bridge built.  The ambitious project of constructing the massive elevated beltway around Mexico City, El Periférico, is a marvel of engineering but it comes with a high cost for the men who toil on its soaring towers and in its deep tunnels. The film manages surprising lyricism despite its gritty mise-en-scène, revealing the exploitive side of “progress.”
