Classic Saura with a very contemporary edge, “The King of All the World” begins with celebrated Mexican choreographer Sara being invited by Manuel, , a stage director, to help him prepare a new musical.

I’ve always thought that “rehearsals” are more interesting that the final performance, perhaps because they show the effort needed to get to the final result.

Mexico is still a machista country, by tradition and history, but little by little women are playing the role they merit. Women, above all the younger ones, are battling for independence.
