A COP MOVIE / UNA PELÍCULA DE POLICÍAS
A film by Alonso Ruizpalacios,
(Mexico, 2021, 107 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Q&A with director Alonso Ruizpalacios
Free Screening with RSVP

Director Alonso Ruizpalacios takes us deep into the Mexican police force with the story of Teresa and Montoya, together known as “the love patrol.” In this thoroughly original and unpredictable documentary, Ruizpalacios plays with the boundaries of nonfiction and immerses the audience in the human experience of police work within a dysfunctional system. A Cop Movie propels the viewer into an unusual cinematic space, giving voice to one of Mexico’s—and the world’s—most controversial institutions. A Netflix release.
