Macu, The Policeman's Woman

[2] It tells the story of a woman who must testify against her criminal policeman husband for murdering her lover, starring Daniel Alvarado, María Luisa Mosquera and Frank Hernández.

Diana Robin and Ira Jaffe compare the film to Oedipus Rex, both in its initial murder mystery and in its psychoanalytic content, as it is based in triadic relationships throughout.

[2] Schwartzman notes that while adulterous wives is a common story in Latin American cinema, Macu shows the woman prevailing as the hero.

[2] A scene identified to represent the chora and the Oedpial psychoanalysis is one in which Macu chooses to return to her childhood apartment after discovering her husband is the murderer.

Schwartzman also notes that the scene gives the power of looking to Macu, as she breaks the fourth wall to level "a challenging gaze" on the Venezuelan audience, telling them that the narrative in the film reflected the society selling out its future.
