Description
To reflect on the 500th anniversary of the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 2021, director Reyes offers a bold hybrid cinema experience exploring the brutal legacy of colonialism in contemporary Mexico. Through the eyes of a ghostly conquistador, the film recreates Hernan Cortes₂ epic journey from the coasts of Veracruz to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, the site of contemporary Mexico City. As the anachronistic fictional character interacts with real-life victims of Mexico₂s failed drug wars and indigenous communities in resistance, the filmmaker portrays the country₂s current humanitarian crisis as part of a vicious and unfinished colonial project, still in motion, nearly five hundred years later.
