Notable as one of the first woman filmmakers in Mexican cinema, Matilde Landeta crafted a strikingly nuanced portrayal of sex work that was truly ahead of its time. In a world financially dominated by men, there are no “good” or “bad girls,” only women whose bodies are commodified by the patriarchy. (MUBI)
