A landmark in Mexican cinema, Fernando de Fuentes’ trilogy of the Mexican Revolution--El prisionero trece (1933), El compadre Mendoza (1933), Vámonos con Pancho Villa (1935)--borrows from the aesthetics of battlefield newsreels and from literary sources to create a complex critique of institutional corruption and personal betrayal that contrasts with the facile nationalism of so many Mexican films on the Revolution. The Mexican state provided equipment and hundreds of extras, but forced at least one change in the script, to soften the director's critical vision.
-Jesse Lerner________________________________
Una ejemplo sobresaliente del cine mexicano, la trilogía de la Revolución Mexicana de Fernando de Fuentes--El prisionero trece (1933), El compadre Mendoza (1933), Vámonos con Pacho Villa (1935)--adopta la estética de los noticiarios de los campos de batalla y de fuentes literarias para crear una crítica compleja de la corrupción institucional y la traición personal que contrasta con el nacionalismo frívolo de muchas películas mexicanas sobre la revolución. El estado Mexicano aportó equipo y cientos de actores extras, pero obligó a hacer cuando menos un cambio en el guión, para suavizar la visión crítica del director.
