Move over Ed Wood! Mexico\u2019s half-forgotten B-movie master, \u201cinvoluntary surrealist\u201d Juan Orol, receives a pitch-perfect tribute in this irresistible love letter to a self-made man of showbiz, whose career spanned nearly sixty films. In a glorious black-and-white flashback mingling movie-tainted memories of his Galician childhood, forced exile to Cuba and arrival in Mexico, intrepid \u201cJuanito\u201c pursues failed careers as baseball player, boxer, bullfighter and gangster before landing in the movies\u2014where failure kind of works for him.
