This screening will have an introduction from Invisible Women. In this Cuban-set Mexican melodrama, Miroslava stars as an upper-class woman who is swept into a passionate and transgressive affair with the rugged Carlos, a now wealthy former factory worker who is shunned by high society. Barbara (Miroslava Stern), a spirited industrialist’s daughter, returns home to a world of wealth, patriarchy, and rigid social codes. Drawn irresistibly to Carlos (Jorge Mistral), a former factory worker turned indispensable partner in the family business, she navigates desire, jealousy, and social constraint on her own terms. With its lush pre-revolutionary Cuban landscapes, torrential rain storms, and passionate nighttime beach scenes, the film foregrounds women’s desire and agency, exploring how love, power, and class collide. A lesser seen gem of Mexican melodrama, Stronger than Love wrestles fascinatingly with the patriarchal context within which it was made, challenging sexual mores (to an extent), frankly depicting female lust and situating women as active participants, not passive objects, in its fiery drama. Curated by Invisible Women. Stronger Than Love ¡Too Much Mexican Melodrama! is delivered with the support of BFI FAN, awarding funds from The National Lottery.
