Debajo, dos extractos de una entrevista publicada en Jump Cut.

      “In the delirious CORAZÓN SANGRANTE (Bleeding Heart, 1993), a multi-award winning music video made in collaboration with the flamboyant postmodern performer Astrid Hadad, Cuevas parodies Mexican nationalist iconography with an intensity akin to religious reverence. Part kitsch, part syncretic baroque, BLEEDING HEART takes an irreverent perspective on the mythic masochism of Mexican womanhood in a hybrid melodramatic mix of boleros, rancheras, and tropical rhythms”

“While DEVIL IN THE FLESH may seem like a throwback to avant-garde works from the 1970s that depict self-inflicted physical torture, Cuevas' visceral imagery of the artist's rubbing VapoRub and chile in her eyes exceed the shock of emotional manipulation.The experimental documentary .”
