PULQUERIAS: 4 PELICULAS

Pulquerias is a popular series of Mexican films that emerged in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s. The films were directed by various filmmakers, with notable contributions from Alfonso Zayas, Jorge Rivero, and Sasha Montenegro. This series is recognized for its unique blend of comedy, musical performances, and elements of Mexican culture, particularly in the context of traditional pulque bars, known as pulquerías.

The first film, La Pulquería, sets the stage for a colorful exploration of life in these establishments where pulque, a traditional alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave plant, is served. The setting not only serves as a backdrop but also plays a significant role in the social dynamics portrayed in the films, highlighting how these venues serve as gathering places for family, friends, and the community.

Alfonso Zayas is a well-known figure in Mexican cinema, celebrated for his performances in various comedy films, while Jorge Rivero is recognized for his more serious roles and contributions to the action and drama genres. Sasha Montenegro, often noted for her beauty and talent, brought a distinct flair to the films, contributing to their overall appeal.

This motley crew of actors provides a lively atmosphere in each of the films. The combination of humor, musical numbers, and cultural elements captivates audiences and provides insight into Mexican society at the time. The characters navigate love, friendship, and rivalry, all under the watchful eyes of the pulque's patrons.

The subsequent films, La Pulquería 2, 3, and 4, expand upon the original narrative by introducing new characters and evolving storylines while maintaining a consistent tone of irreverence and fun. Each sequel attempts to elevate the comedic elements while providing a fresh take on the social interactions and customs depicted in the pulquerías.

Highlights of the films include:

Colorful Characters: Each film is populated with a variety of characters that represent different facets of Mexican life, from the hardworking bartender to the local musicians and patrons of the pulquería.

Humorous Situations: The films are filled with comedic scenarios that often reflect the absurdities of life, love, and societal norms in Mexico.

Cultural Significance: The series sheds light on the importance of pulque in Mexican culture, showcasing its role in celebrations, gatherings, and as a symbol of tradition.

Musical Performances: The films frequently incorporate lively musical numbers that add to the festive atmosphere and enhance storytelling.

In conclusion, the Pulquerías film series not only entertains but also serves as a nostalgic representation of Mexican cultural heritage, making it a beloved treasure in the realm of cinema. Viewers can appreciate both the humor and the underlying cultural commentary present in these films, which continue to resonate with audiences today.

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
