DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN [Mexico, 2004], directed by Sergio Arau, is a fantasy in which all Mexicans in California suddenly disappear.  It takes a satirical look at the range of effects on the non-Latino Californians who remain after a "pink fog" surrounds California. Nothing crosses the pink fog border, and it is said to be responsible for the lack of telephone and internet communications outside the state. During the course of the film, many theories are brought up concerning the disappearance of the Mexicans from biological warfare/terrorism to government experiment conspiracies to alien abductions and the rapture. The film revolves around a series of characters who are affected by the event. Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi), a LA TV reporter whose Mexican parents have disappeared and is considered California's "last remaining Mexican." The temporary governor of California (John Getz) and his wife (Melinda Allen) are without servants. 

 

The film's 2004 awards include best screenplay at the Cartagena Film Festival and a nomination for best film; a special jury award at the Gramado Film Festival; and an award for best editing at the Guadalajara Mexican Film Festival. U.S. critics were not impressed with the film.

Even the RAIN (Tambien la Lluvia) Spain, 2010, 104 mins., is a Spanish film with English subtitles and English, written by Paul Laverty, directed by Iciar Bollain, and stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Luis Tosar).  Doors open at 6:30 PM.
