La Llorona (Criterion Collection)

Found guilty for committing unspeakable atrocities against the Mayan people, a former Guatemalan dictator (Julio Diaz) manages to avoid imprisonment, much to the horror of the citizenry. He may yet pay for his crimes, however, when it appears as though his new maid (María Mercedes Coroy) could bring with her a form of unearthly retribution.

Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish, Ixil, and Kaqchikel Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; interview; documentary; theatrical trailer; essay. In Spanish, Ixil, Kaqchikel with English subtitles.
