Filmobiography
This little known 42-minute film, which won an open experimental filmmaking competition in 1965, is extraordinary and unsettling. “If you had to summarise the film”, noted director Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma) at the screening of the restored film in Lyon in 2017, “it would be the history of a patient who is given a transfusion of Coca-Cola on his deathbed.”
La fórmula secreta — extraordinario y desconocido mediometraje de 42 minutos del que nadie sale indemne— ganó en 1965 un concurso abierto de cine experimental. «Si tuviéramos que resumir le película, sería la historia de un paciente moribundo que recibe una transfusión de Coca-Cola», comentó el director Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma) con ocasión de la proyección del filme restaurado en Lyon en 2017.
