José Clemente Orozco

A document that summarizes images of the energetic Mexican muralist's most significant works, using rhythmic montages that reflect the prevailing mood of each of his pictorial periods and a complex soundtrack composed of effects and various orchestral and choral interventions. Devoid of narration and didactic rigidity, this short film focuses its resources on the pure enjoyment of Orozco's work.

Narrated by Ricardo Montalbán, this documentary examines the history of Mexican murals and their artists. Among the works examined are those by José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
