Together with Arturo Ripstein, Cazals was considered in Mexico one of the most representative film directors of his generation. With his films Las Inocentes (1986), Las Poquianchis (1976), El Apando (1976), and Canoa (1976), he was considered to be one of the most creative and bitter-critical^{[clarification needed]} filmmakers in the history of Latin American movies. Canoa was entered into the 26th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize.[1] His 1973 film Aquellos años was entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Special Prize.[2]
