¡Que viva México! (lit. 'Long live Mexico!') is a 2023 Mexican comedy political satire film directed by Luis Estrada and written by Estrada and Jaime Sampietro.[3] Starring Alfonso Herrera, Damián Alcázar, Joaquín Cosío and Ana de la Reguera.[4] The film opened to mixed reviews.

Synopsis

Pancho Reyes, a family man from the middle class of society, who strives every day to fulfill the aspirations of his wife Mari and their two children. Until one day, his father calls him to tell him that his grandfather died and to read the will, he needs to be there.

Production

Principal photography for the film began on August 30, 2021[8] and ended in October of the same year[9] in the Pueblo Mágico de Real de Catorce in northern San Luis Potosí, Mexico.[10]

Release

The film was scheduled for a limited theatrical release on November 3, 2022,[11] followed by a worldwide release on November 16, 2022, on Netflix.[12] But when the day came, the theatrical and Netflix release was cancelled.[13] This happened because the director Luis Estrada wanted to have a wider theatrical release as Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handfull of Truths had.[14] But he did not reach an agreement with Netflix.[15] After the disagreement, Estrada decided to buy the rights to his film to release his film in most theaters with another distributor.[16] On February 2, 2023, Estrada announced that he had reached a deal with Sony Pictures for a wide theatrical release.[17] Finally, the film was released on March 23, 2023, in Mexico, United States and other countries,[18][19] to then be releasing on May 11 on Netflix.[20]

Controversy

When the film was released, it divided the public and critics, being criticized for "denigrating the country".[21] Among his critics are Juan Osorio Ortiz, a Mexican television producer,[22] and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the current president of Mexico,[23] who called the film's director a "progressive good vibes", classist and racist.[24][25] Following López Obrador's criticism, Luis Estrada responded by noting that the president, instead of worrying about a movie he hasn't even seen, should focus on issues that are more relevant to the country.[26][27]
