Set in the 1930s and 40s, the tumultuous era of the Mexican Revolution, it’s the story of a daring and ambitious general (Daniel Giménez Cacho), his exploits of power, and the one woman he needed but could never conquer – his wife (Ana Claudia Talancón). It is the tale of a girl whose spirit could not be broken and a woman whose profound love of a revolutionary composer (José María de Tavira) would change the face of politics from behind the bedroom curtain.
Director Sneider is in full command of the medium, and with sumptuous wide screen cinematography and a heady mix of passion, crime and politics, he builds a convincing period portrait. Released in Mexico in late 2008, TEAR THIS HEART OUT was a huge number one box office hit.
