499: Full Cast & Crew 2021 Documentary/History/Drama
In 2021, it will be 500 years since the Spanish conquest of Mexico. To commemorate this anniversary, director Rodrigo Reyes offers us an audacious cinematographic experience, a hybrid that mixes non-fiction with dramatic elements, framed in a road movie format . Through the gaze of a ghostly conqueror, Reyes recreates the epic route of Hernán Cortés from the coast of Veracruz to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, replaced by present-day Mexico City. On the road, this anachronistic character interacts with victims, real people affected by the failed war on drugs, and the director builds a portrait of the current humanitarian crisis in the country, a new chapter within a brutal unfinished colonial project, and still in motion, 499 years later.
