    The River and Death (Spanish: El río y la muerte) is a 1954 Mexican film. It was written by Luis Alcoriza and directed by Luis Buñuel.[1] The film is an adaptation of Miguel Álvarez Acosta's 1952[2] novel Muro blanco en roca negra (White Wall on a Black Rock).[3][4]

    Cast[edit]

    Background[edit]

    The film, an adaptation of a novel about blood revenge that has lasted for several generations, is so country-specific that the audience at the Venice Film Festival thought it was a comedy.[citation needed] Buñuel takes great pains in his autobiography to show that the despicable events portrayed in the film were even surpassed by reality.[5]
