Ebersole Hughes’ ‘Mansfield 66/67’ opens at Salon Gallos

Not since its 2017 World Premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam has the director’s cut of the Ebersole Hughes cult film “Mansfield 66/67” been shown in public, but now it’s on the big screen seven times at Salón Gallos.

The film explores the final two years of the film sensation Jayne Mansfield.

For the opening night, the directors Todd Hughes and P. David Ebersole — who reside in Mérida — will take questions from the audience following the 7 p.m. screening.

Another Ebersole Hughes film, “House of Cardin,” will be screened. The documentary follows the life of the legendary fashion designer.

Tickets (60 pesos) available here.

“A campy product of pink-tinted postmodernism.” — Sight and Sound

“A hugely entertaining production.” — Screen International

“Wondrous and delirious.” — Screen Anarchy

“A Slice of Retro, Film-freak Gadzookery!” — Austin Chronicle
