Cantiflas [2014]
Directed by: Sebastián Del Amo
Charlie Chaplin is said to have been a Cantinflas admirer, calling him "the greatest comedian alive."
Remembering much of my childhood laughter collectively came from watching Cantiflas on screen. My father remembers him as being Mexico's icon. He was a beloved character and actor.
This film visits the humble origins of the man behind the character; Mario Moreno. Jaenada does a perfect job of paying homage to Cantiflas. He has all the mannerisms down perfectly. ❤ If you're looking for a start into Latin cinema look no further than our own Mexican 'Charlie Chaplin' Cantiflas.
