The Night Buffalo is the latest work by Guillermo Arriaga (his first as a screenwriter/producer) and Jorge Hernandez Aldana, who is making his feature directing debut. This stunningly evocative story of romantic disillusionment and betrayal promises that this new collaboration will be as accomplished as Arriaga's previous endeavors.
Driven by an exceptionally potent performance by Diego Luna, an actor of amazing discipline and daring, The Night Buffalo is the story of Manuel, his best friend Gregorio, and their shared girlfriend. When Gregorio enters a psychiatric hospital to deal with his schizophrenic nightmares, his girlfriend, Tania, and Manuel begin an affair behind his back. And although after Gregorio's release the two friends temporarily reconcile, tragedy ensues, and Manuel seeks solace in the arms of a series of friends and acquaintances.
