La Llorona: The Crying Woman (1933)

Our first text on La Llorona takes us back to Mexico for Ramón Peón's 1933 film La Llorona or The Crying Woman (Watch on YouTube here). C/W: suicide This is the oldest movie we've covered on the pod to date, but there's plenty to discuss, including issues of race, class, and gender, especially across the film's three generational storylines. Plus: secret passageways, birthday parties and weddings, and ties to historical figures...but no water?! Wanna connect with the show?
