More About This Product

Overview

In this historical drama from Mexico, Damian Delgado plays Topilzin, a writer and the illegitimate son of Montezuma, who finds himself at odds with his nation's new leadership after Tenocchititlan's rule is put down by the Spanish Army in 1520. Topilzin refuses to adopt the new state-imposed religion and, after narrowly avoiding arrest following an incident in which he throws a rock at a friar, he's turned over to the police by his brother, and arrested in the presence of Hernando Cortes Inaki Aierra and his lover, Tecuichpo Elpidia Carrillo, the daughter of Montezuma. Thanks to the pleas of Cortes and Tecuichpo, Topilzin's life is spared, and instead he is flogged in public by Capt. Quijano Honorato Magaloni. After his punishment and an ensuing spiritual epiphany, Topilzin gives up his career as an author to become a monk, and he joins an order led by Fray Diego Jose Carlos Rodriguez, the friar he once attacked. La Otra Conquista proved to be a big box-office success in Mexico, enjoying the biggest opening weekend of any Mexican film in history on its home turf.

    Visuallly stunning, historically poignant film

    This visually stunning and historically significant film treats the period immediately after the initial encounter between Cortes' forces and the Mexica Empire. Brilliantly highlighting the political, religious, and social consequences of the Europeans' unstoppable establishment as the dominant power in Mesoamerica, Carrasco deftly melds his depiction of these larger cultural consequences with the story of the young Mexica Topiltzin whose personal struggles allow us to experience the emotional and spiritual costs for the survivors who continue to resist. The film's poignancy lies in the director's suggestion that even as these few individuals continue to resist European institutional and cultural imperialism they, in turn, also effect changes in the beliefs and practices of the conquerors. In the end, those who came to conquer must also recognize the inevitability of change: the "new world" is, in fact, the one "discovered" by both the Americans and the Europeans who live on in what is now a distinct yet syncretic world.
