un buen día para ti también petrolino ! Emilio "El Indio" Fernández (1904 –1986) Mexican film director, actor and screenwriter. Fernández was one of the most prolific film directors of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. He is best known for his work as director of the film María Candelaria (1944) with Dolores del Rio which won the Palme d'Or award at the 1946 Cannes Film Festival. As an actor, he worked in numerous film productions in Mexico & Hollywood and notably Fernández was the model for the Oscar statuette. According to the Urban legend, in 1928 MGM's art director Cedric Gibbons, one of the original Motion Picture Academy members, was tasked with creating the Academy Award trophy. In need of a model for his statuette, Gibbons was introduced by his future wife, actress Dolores del Río, to Fernández who reluctantly posed nude for the statue modelling.

What is this from? Looks pretty frightening. Post Tenebras Lux, by Mexican auteur Carlos Reygadas, it's a creepy slow moving "art film", with a very fractured/abstract narrative. Sort of like a weird, lo-fi Tree of Life. Very cool, if you like that sort of thing.
