If you loved El Infierno, try The Perfect Dictatorship

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Perfect Dictatorship has roughly 3.7× fewer votes than El Infierno — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Luis Estrada, and they both carry the devastating, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El Infierno, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Perfect Dictatorship is

Apparently someone still thinks politics is show business. A TV network helps a governor rebrand himself. It all goes about as smoothly as one would expect.
