Arturo Ripstein (born on December 13, 1943 in Mexico City) is a Mexican film director. Ripstein got his break into movies working as an uncredited assistant director for Luis Bunuel. In 1965, he directed his first feature, "Tiempo De Morir". Written by Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez, it began a tradition of making independent films written by high-profile Latin-American authors. In 1997, Ripstein won the Mexican National Prize for the Arts, the second filmmaker after Bunuel to do so.
