About The Reasons of the Heart
In a reinterpretation of Madame Bovary set on contemporary Mexico City, Emilia, a middle class housewife, tries to deal with the monotony of her life. One day, she loses the two things which makes everything beareable: her lover and her credit card.
Directed by Arturo Ripstein, The Reasons of the Heart leans on a strong ensemble — Arcelia Ramírez, Vladimir Cruz, Plutarco Haza — 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 2011.
