Film Adaptation of Rudolfo Anaya's BLESS ME, ULTIMA in Theatres
Based on a book that was "banned, forbidden and burned."
The film adaptation of author Rudolfo Anaya's BLESS ME, ULTIMA opens in theaters across the country, today. I only discovered the story a few days, ago, and am looking forward to experiencing both the book and film. In short, the story is about a young boy who struggles with his family's cultural norms and religious beliefs when Ultima, a curandera-healer, comes to stay with his family in New Mexico.
If you have an opportunity, please watch the two-minute trailer and check-out the BLESS ME, ULTIMA official website where you can find out if the film will be showing near you.
Lisa, you're lucky. I heard this morning that they're arranging a showing in NYC through Tugg. Will let you know as soon as I know the date. Check out: www.tugg.com/events/3134
I didn't hear about this book until a few weeks ago. I'm bummed it's not playing near me. But I want to read the book.

ReplyDeleteI've heard some buzz about this film. I really want to see it but it is not playing anywhere near where I live. :(
ReplyDeleteI will just have to wait and see it, let me know if you do check it out and what you think. I am really curious to know how it turns out. Thanks Ezzy!
