About Complot Petróleo: La cabeza de la hidra
While Mexico swims in the oil veins that were deeded to him by the Devil, a bureaucrat is thrown into a whirlwind of intrigue and international espionage where he discovers that the guts of the beast in charge are one and the same, and the evacuation conduit itself. : We are the shit of that monster. At the same time, a man and a woman discover that behind their passion there is a dark reality that drives them to disguise as action what is only hunger, suffering, desire.
Directed by Paul Leduc, Complot Petróleo: La cabeza de la hidra leans on a strong ensemble — Arturo Alegro, José Alonso, Manuel Barbachano Ponce — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
