Cabeza de Vaca (1991)

In 1528, a Spanish expedition flounders off the coast of Florida with 600 lives lost. One survivor, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, roams across the American continent searching for his Spanish comrades. Instead, he discovers the Iguase, an ancient Indian tribe. Over the next eight years, Cabeza de Vaca learns their mystical and mysterious culture, becoming a healer and a leader. But soon this New World collides with the Old World as Spanish conquistadors seek to enslave the Indians, and Cabeza de Vaca must confront his own people and his past.

Definately a strange one, it should be watched by anyone who wishes to get an alternative view of the 'discovery of the americas'. Very good

The real life story of Cabeza de Vaca who became stranded in Texas before the colonization of America, became a slave to the Natives until he learned to be a Shaman. He makes a new life only to see it destroyed by the civilization he disconnected from. The final image of the slaves being forced to carry the Steeple to the mission speaks volumes and is unforgettable. (Fuck the Last Samurai)

Haunting and brutal corrective to the colonization of Mexico by the Spanish. Reminded me of everything from Aguirre, Wrath of God to Black God, White Devil to the cult classic El Topo. Immersive, scary, and quite stunning at turns.

This film chronicles the true story of Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer circa 1528 who was shipwrecked in Florida and was forced to live among the natives, where he slowly learned to respect their way of life. I?d been reading about this guy lately, and I decided to track down this fairly obscure movie at my library as it?s not available on DVD. It is a fairly gritty production, you can really just feel the suffering in the environment. The production values are competent, but not up to Hollywood standards. The acting is not great, the man playing de Vaca overacts? a lot. Still this is an interesting story, and while the movie isn?t a great work of art, it does what it sets out to do respectably well.

Mesmerizingly effective and powerfully delusional, mi buen hombre Nicolás Echeverría (¡ese es mi cuate, jaja!) combines the experimental desperation of a Reygadas gem and the unstoppable madness of a Jodorowsky masterpiece. The result is invigorating, transforming the lack of script to images of colossal psychological weight. Herzog would be proud, and the performance of Juan Diego (do I perceive a religious irony in the name?) revives the historical character of the Spanish conquistador Alvar Núñez in one of his journeys of eternal oblivion and confused priorities. Extraordinary, forgotten masterpiece of Mexico's few watchable efforts of the 90s. 97/100
