Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This unexplained scene in DEL OTRO LADO DEL PUENTE properly haunts not only the surface of the film (its aesthetic is in congruent with the rest of the film), but its narrative as well. The character of the father does not have any lines and receives minimal screen time. In fact, the actor who portrays the character is seemingly uncredited. (There are charming qualities to this haunting performance, the actor seems to receive a cue off-camera right before he stops walking and strikes his pose.) Like the pachuca and pachuco in Chicano history, this depiction is opaque and yet stylishly disruptive.
