Arturo Ripstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arturo Ripstein (born on December 13, 1943 in Mexico City) is a six-time Ariel Award winning and three-time Palme d'Or, one-time Golden Lion nominated Mexican film director.
Ripstein got his break into movies working as an uncredited assistant director for Luis Buñuel. In 1965, he directed his first feature, Tiempo de Morir. Written by Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez, it began a tradition of making independent films written by high-profile Latin-American authors.
In 1997, Ripstein won the National Prize of Arts and Sciences, the second filmmaker after Buñuel to do so.
