The first work directed by the cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto was screened for the first time at the International Film Festival and will premiere on November 6 on Netflix. The film has generated interest due to accusations against Tenoch Huerta, known for his participation in "Pedro Páramo".
In 2023, activist and saxophonist María Elena Ríos accused Tenoch Huerta of removing the condom during sexual intercourse without her consent, an act known as "stealthing." According to the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women, this act is considered a form of sexual violence and violation of consent with serious consequences.
Tenoch Huerta has responded to these accusations in various interviews. At the Morelia International Film Festival, the Mexican actor made his first public appearance after the accusations. During the premiere of "Pedro Páramo," in which he plays Juan Preciado, Tenoch spoke about his personal life and future professional projects.
In statements on the red carpet, Tenoch Huerta mentioned that he considers participation in public events as a form of healing for both himself and the public. Regarding the accusations, he clarified that both agreed not to use a condom during the relationship and that the saxophonist did not request its use, which has been a source of annoyance for him.
In previous interviews, Tenoch Huerta stated that he and María Elena Ríos had an open relationship and that there was consent in their encounters. The actor was reluctant to reveal specific details of his personal life.
"Pedro Páramo" is a film inspired by the eponymous novel by Juan Rulfo and marks a milestone in Rodrigo Prieto's career as a director.
