The Ariel is the Mexican Academy of Film Award. It has been awarded annually since 1947. The award recognizes excellence in motion picture making, such as acting, directing and screenwriting in Mexican cinema. It is considered the most prestigious award in the Mexican movie industry. The name "Ariel" was inspired by a series of short writings called El Ariel by Uruguayan writer José Enrique Rodó that inspired generations of young Latin Americans in the first decades of the 20th century.
In 2020 and inspired by Somos' original Top 100 Mexican movies list from 1994, digital magazine Sector Cine asked 35 experts to submit their ranked lists of 25 best Mexican films. 27 of them responded to the request, which resulted in this list.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a philosophical story or metaphor that illustrates the nature of reality and the human condition. It appears in Book VII of Plato's Republic, a dialogue between Socrates and his student, Glaucon.
In the allegory, prisoners are chained in a dark cave and forced to face a blank wall. They can only see the shadows of objects passing behind them, cast by a fire burning behind them. The prisoners perceive the shadows as reality, and they believe that the shadows are the only reality that exists.
When one prisoner is freed and is allowed to leave the cave, he discovers that the shadows are only a reflection of real objects, and that there is a whole new world outside the cave. The freed prisoner becomes aware of a higher reality that he had never known existed. He returns to the cave to share his new knowledge with the other prisoners, but they are skeptical and do not believe him.
The allegory of the cave is often interpreted as a metaphor for the human condition. The cave represents the physical world in which we live, and the prisoners represent people who are trapped by their limited perceptions and beliefs. The freed prisoner represents someone who has gained insight into the true nature of reality, and who seeks to share this knowledge with others.

A cinematic history mixed with contemporary art.
Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness, apocalyptic hysteria. Unlike her male counterpart - ‘the eccentric’ - the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films those rare places where her destructive emotions get to play.
