Arturo Ripstein (December 13, 1943 -) is a Mexican film director.
Born in Mexico City, Ripstein got his break into movies working as an uncredited assistant director for Luis Buñuel. In 1965, he directed his first feature, "Tiempo De Morir". Written by Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel GarcÃa 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 Buñuel to do so.
