Review of El Mariachi (1993) by Andre F — 22 Dec 2007
Debut from robert rodriguez( sin city from dusk til dawn) and the first in his mariachi films( followed by desperado and once upon a time in mexico, shot in spanish and a reported 7000 dollers, this is a great blend of action and comic moments, a mariachi player gets mixed up for a assassin when he arrives in town, so local thugs decide to terminate him, and a pursuit of the man begins while he also falls in love with a local woman.
a great example of what can be acomplished with a minimum budget, the tricks that rodriguez uses to make his budget bigger are great, he was a one crew team and did everything, a great example for all you film school wannabee film makers out there, andalthough looks cheap doesent act it, a great tip watch his audio commetery on the dvd, a great do it your self film hand book, tells you everything you wanna know about becoming a filmmaker and low budgets, a great debut from rodriguez.
