Ignacio López Tarso

MUERTARIO

Mexican cinema veteran Ignacio López Tarso has died aged 98. Over the course of his 80 year career, his crowning moment was perhaps as the titular peasant in Oscar-nominated Macario, where he encounters the Grim Reaper among others in a series of surreal black-and-white encounters. A decade later he won an Ariel (the Mexican Oscar) for Rosa Blanca, where he starred as a Mexican landowner facing a corrupt US oil company determined to take his territory. He had been in and out of hospital in recent years and scores an inaugural hit for newcomer bry80cr.
