Biography

Mauricio de la Serna (26 November 1902 – 19 March 1986; sometimes reported as 20 March 1986) was a Mexican film director, screenwriter, and producer active in cinema from 1938 to 1979. From 1950 he resumed credited story work and expanded into screenplay writing; his first credited screenplay is commonly identified as a 1951 film directed by Julio Bracho, and one of his story credits served as the basis for a film directed by Luis Buñuel. In 1955 he debuted as director-screenwriter with Caras nuevas and is commonly credited with directing 23 feature films. He later worked in screen-industry administrative roles, including at Televisa’s film unit Televicine, and returned to directing in 1979 with Nora la rebelde.

This is an early film from Director Gilberto Martinez Solares, who would go on to become better-known for his unique perspective on horror films of the 60's and 70's - like "Santanico Pademonium" "Face of the Screaming Wolf" and his own "House of Terror", (these features, in turn, would inspire future award-wining Directors such as Tarantino and Del Toro). As far as Resurreccion goes, it is a semi-historical Drama, based on Leo Tolstoy's novel also titled "Resurrection" . However, Solares' movie loosely uses the start of the 1910 to 1920 Mexican Revolution as its cornerstone, (instead of the Russian battle that Tolstoy relied on for his 1899 literary work ). It essentially documents one man's effort to find redemption for his past sins. It stars actors Emilio Tuero, Lupita Tovar, Sara Garcia and Jose Pulido, among others.
