The Fourth House: A portrait of Elena Garro (2002)
Elena Garro, Mexican writer and former wife of Octavio Paz, returns to Mexico after more than 20 years in exile, accompanied by her 18 cats, her daughter and "two trunks full of insults" to look for a house. This documentary is an impressionist portrait of Garro's final four years of life, recounting remembrances of her delightful childhood, her marriage to Paz, the ups and downs of her literary career, the '68 Tlatelolco tragedy, her break with the intellectual world, her flight from Mexico followed by exile and the disenchanted return, all filtered through her prodigious, acid imagination.
