Even when the theme is universal, the panel cautioned that certain intricate cultural details should be understood and maintained for a successful remake, going on to discuss the importance of keeping certain films closer to the societies they’re conceived within.“In the case of ‘Nueve Reinas,’ remade as ‘Criminal,’ in the United States, it lost all of its authenticity and humility. It was a failure,” Vera said.
