Pachito Rex: I'm Leaving But Not For Good (2001)

Synopsis of Pachito Rex: I'm Leaving But Not For Good

Combining digital video technology with stylized computer-generated imagery, this film takes a decidedly unusual approach as it combines three short stories involving one Pachito Rex (Jorge Zarate), a former pop music star who became a powerful political figure before being assassinated somewhere in South America. Or was he? In the first segment, we follow Sobrino (Ernesto Gomez Cruz) as he is released from jail after being accused of killing Pachito. In the second story, Pachito's body has gone missing, and Estrada (Pedro Altamirano), a police detective, is given the assignment of finding out what has happened to the great man's remains. And finally, Abel (Damian Alcazar) is a noted architect who is hired to design a memorial to Pachito, which brings him both good fortune and bad. Combining bizarre humor and purposefully unrealistic visual design, Pachito Rex: Me Voy Pero No Del Todo was produced through the auspices of the Centro de Capacitacion Cinematografica, a film education center operated by the Mexican government. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
