The Holy Office (El santo oficio in Spanish) is a 1973 Mexican drama film by Arturo Ripstein about the trial of crypto-Jews by the The Spanish Inquisition.A deadly epidemic strikes New Spain in the latter years of the 16th century. Fray Gaspar de Carvajal (Peter Gonzales) attends his father's funeral and notices odd practices in the process, such as the washing of the body and a burial in a shroud without a coffin. Suspecting his family, who sent him away to a monastery at the age of 10, he accuses them before the Inquisition of being crypto-Jews (i.e. Jews who nominally converted to Catholicism but continued to engage in Jewish religion). Soon enough the Inquisition is knocking on their door and takes them to the dungeons of the Palace of the Inquisition.Luis de Carvajal (Jorge Luke), one of the sons, is locked alone with Fray Hernando (Farnesio de Bernal), a spy. His mother Francisca (Ana Mérida) is locked with his sister Mariana (Diana Bracho). Francisca is tortured into confessing their Jewish faith, while Mariana is raped by the guards. After repenting, they're set free, with Luis being forced to work in a sanatory. But this comes with a warning: if they revert to their Jewish faith once again... | |

| The Holy Office / int_266a9dd6 | comment |
Heel–Faith Turn: Fray Hernando is supposed to spy on Luis de Carvajal for a confession of Jewish faith. However, he's so impressed by his faith that he ends up converting to Judaism and doesn't tell the Inquisition anything that could get Luis executed. | |

Evil Wears Black | |
| The Holy Office / int_e9a97564 | comment |
Evil Wears Black: Most characters wear colorful 16th century clothing except the inquisidors, who dress in all black. Justified in that black dye was expensive and thus reserved for people with higher positions. | |
