Three decades ago, a young Arturo Ripstein interviewed political detainees at the preventive jail in Mexico City, which was about to be
closed. The documentary Lecumberri, el palacio negro (Lecumberri, the Black Palace, 1976) was born out of that material. Today, those young guerrilla men have become veterans of politics and the director of “Deep Crimson” revisits them to make a skeptic point. With only the interview punctuated with archive images, Heroes and Time lays bare the conflicts of a generation that once idealized revolutionary socialism and today is pushing on sixty, both north and south of the Latin American Equator.
