Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia
...........................Just hearing the description you might think this is a very weird movie. What does it mean to dig up a dead man's grave, chop his head off with a machete, and transport that head all over Mexico, losing your girl, and realizing that you have no reason to live but to go on fool's errands, transporting disembodied heads, speaking to them, getting drunk, tasting the dust of the road, and eventually dying in a hail of automatic weapon bullets? Interesting characterization of Anglo hired killers -- like the investment banker vultures of the Latin American dirty deed trade. Warren Oates crunching the crabs he got from his girlfriend between his fingers, then delousing his crotch with tequila has to be the saddest most funny thing I saw yesterday.
