...Nicolás EchevarrÃa, made a fave film of mine, Cabeza de Vaca. For Mexican TV, yet! I quote an Amazon reviewer:"Cabeza de Vaca, Spanish nobleman looking for riches and adventure, ends up with much more adventure than he planned for. A journey for gold turns into a harrowing spiritual journey, a twisting torture of his soul and beliefs.
"Face to face with barbarians, de Vaca must face his own nature and ultimately the barbaric nature of the Spanish Conquest.
"A beautifully shot movie - the melange of tribal cultures that de Vaca encountered on his wanderings is well portrayed, and as de Vaca goes from slave to shaman to the next meal back to holy man, etc., this viewer was caught up in de Vaca's spiritual journey - how survival and spirituality spring from the same place for many of us.
"Juan Diego masterfully portrays de Vaca's spiritual trials and tribulations - a man adapting to what he had to adapt to to survive, almost losing himself in the process, reborn almost unrecognizable to himself.
"This movie reminds us that culture clashes are really clashes of souls, an always-timely message."
The DVD is only $10.
