Trivia

Things worth knowing

• 189 minutes exactly — the "classic feature" runtime most directors aim for.

• 4Regina Blandón and Mario Iván Martínez and José Ángel Torres carry the top of the cast.
• 5IMDB entry: tt10149080 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
• 6Only 48 TMDB ratings — you're getting ahead of the curve on this one.
