Jaime Humberto Hermosillo

Hermosillo collaborated with novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez on the screenplays for "Maria de Mi Corazon/Mary My Dearest" (1979) and "El Verano de la Senora Forbes/The Summer of Miss Forbes" (1988). Several of his films have taken a decidedly offbeat approach to character exposition, notably "Intimidades en un Cuarto de Bano/Bathroom Intimacies" (1990), a study of a family in crisis revealed through the bathroom habits of its members; and the erotic "La Tarea/Homework" (1990), a film shot in four days with long takes interrupted only for reel changes, about a female film student who records a sexual encounter with her ex-husband.
