Downtown’s historic KiMo Theatre has done a fantastic job of keeping patrons rolling in cinema. In addition to the Hi-Def Hitchcock and the 6 By Tarantino series (both of which continue this Friday and Saturday, respectively), the venerable venue is launching a new Golden Age of Mexican Cinema series. This multi-film collection is presented in conjunction with the Consulate of Mexico. The first film to be screened is 1946’s Enamorada. In this Mexican Revolution-set melodrama, a guerilla general (Pedro Armendáriz) occupies a conservative town and ends up falling for a rich man’s daughter (María Félix). Doors open at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 28. Screening starts at 7 p.m. All films in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema are free and open to the public (and presented with English subtitles to boot). Future installments include 1953’s Dos Tipos de Ciudado (April 4) and 1957’s Teatro del Crimen (April 11).
