Rodrigo García’s ‘Las Locuras’ Bows at Morelia, Sets Nov. 13 Theatrical and Nov. 20 Netflix Releases

The female-led mosaic confronts mental-health stigma through six interlinked stories.

Overview

  • The film held its gala premiere on Oct. 11 at the Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia with a red carpet at the Teatro Mariano Matamoros.
  • Select cinemas will screen it starting Nov. 13, followed by Netflix availability on Nov. 20 as part of a staggered rollout.
  • Garcia says a close friend’s bipolar crisis prompted him to write the project, which he completed in a month and filmed in Mexico City last year.
  • Produced by Panorama Global with Netflix, the ensemble features Cassandra Ciangherotti, Naian González Norvind, Ilse Salas, Natalia Solián and Fernanda Castillo, among others.
  • Coverage largely describes a structure of six interlinked women’s stories centered on mental health and frayed relationships, though one local report references five.
