Netflix's 'Pedro Páramo': A Tale of Love, Violence, and Magical Realism

Manuel García-Rulfo stars in Netflix's adaptation of "Pedro Páramo," a classic Mexican novel by Juan Rulfo, directed by Rodrigo Prieto. The film explores themes of love, patriarchy, and mortality through the story of a man searching for his father in a ghost town. García-Rulfo, who shares a distant relation with the author, emphasizes the universal appeal of the story's complex portrayal of Mexico. The actor, known for his role in "The Lincoln Lawyer," aims to choose roles that avoid harmful stereotypes and reflect authentic cultural narratives.
