The Man Who Saw Too Much

Dir. Trisha Ziff - 2015, Mexico, 89 min.

Attention photography fans! The 2016 OC Film Fiesta is proud to present THE MAN WHO SAW TOO MUCH, the new Ariel Award-winning documentary about legendary Mexican photographer Enrique Metinides by Trisha Ziff, filmmaker of the phenomenal THE MEXICAN SUITCASE.

THE MAN WHO SAW TOO MUCH is a film about fragility; about a man obsessed with photographing the accident who discovered that the fate of others was his way of connecting to life. What is it about these photographs? When the image of the accident becomes the object of desire? Through the footsteps of Metinides and the work of the contemporary tabloid photographers we discover Mexico City through a narrative of crime scenes and accidents, while we are confronted by our own fascination with death, morbidity, rubbernecking through Metinides’ gaze.
