I. The Ariel goes to, 1990 to date, the New Mexican Cinema
Ariel award to the best movie since 1990, the year generally considered the start for the age and movies of the New Mexican Cinema.
New Mexican Cinema is a popular definition rather than a cohesive school; whereas it could very well be still current, critics and industry professionals talk of late about a new golden age.
From Rojo Amanecer, the movie that reawaken the attention of Mexicans to its cinema despite budgets, to Roma, the most awarded movie of all times.

Premios Ariel a la mejor película desde 1990, el año generalmente aceptado como el comienzo de las películas del Nuevo Cine Mexicano.
Más un movimiento popular que una escuela definida bien puede considerarse aún vigente; sin embargo, hay quien habla más recientemente de una nueva época dorada, por la frecuencia y el tamaño de las producciones.
De Rojo Amancer, la cinta que a pesar de su relativamente bajo presupuesto reanimó el interés por el cine nacional, a Roma, la obra quizá más premiada de todos los tiempos.
