Life

Juan Bustillo Oro studied law, literature, theater studies and journalism. He was a supporter of José Vasconcelos . At the beginning of his career he wrote plays and founded his own theater together with Mauricio Magdaleno . Then he switched to film. In 1927, Oro made his debut with the silent film Yo soy tu padre , in which he still relied heavily on theater conventions. As a result, he turned down the offer to film his own play from, so that the film Tiburón was made in 1933 by Ramón Peón . Juan Bustillo Oro also refuses to shoot El compadre Mendoza , with which Fernando de Fuentes should be successful.

In 1934 Juan Bustillo Oro shot Dos monjes, his first sound film . In this he took up the German expressionism with light, music, stage design and the costumes. He implemented this style again the following year in El misterio del rostro pálido , but with a less convincing effect. Also in 1935, Juan Bustillo shot Oro Monja i casada, virgen i mártir , in which he received elements from Fernando de Fuentes Cruz Diablo . As a result, he made other films related to Mexico. Like de Fuentes and Arcady Boytler , Juan Bustillo Oro combined the necessities of economically successful films with artistic demands. He committed himself to melodramas and family stories that presented a nostalgic look at the past, which is why they were given the label "nostalgia porfiriana". In 1951 Juan Bustillo Oro was nominated for the silver Premio Ariel for the screenplay of Vino el remolino y nos alevantó , but did not receive the award. He made his last film in 1965. He then published several dramas and books related to the film and to himself. In 1985 Juan Bustillo Oro was awarded the Salvador Toscano Medal .
