La Tarea (Homework)
1990, NR, 85 min. Directed by Jaime Humberto Hermosillo. Starring José Alonso, Maria Rojo.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., March 19, 2002
A woman making a project for her film class uses a hidden camera to record a visit with an ex-lover. The idea of using stationary, hidden cameras is one that recurs in several of Hermosillo's films in his effort to dissect human relationships amongst the middle class.
