A review by tigerlillymelody
Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3.0

I don’t have anything profound or interesting to say about this historical fiction noir romance that focuses on the CIAs violent quashing of communism and other leftist movements in 1970s Mexico. But I went to the new Cheech Museum which featured neo-expressionist Chicanoir artist Adan Hernandez and his painting “La Sad Girl” was giving me such big Velvet Was the Night vibes I just had to share.
