La Sombra del Caudillo (aka The Shadow of the Tyrant)

In early-'20s Mexico, popular general Ignacio Aguirre (Tito Junco) demurred on the notion of a presidential run, acceding to the chosen candidate (Ignacio Lopez Tarso) of the outgoing "el Caudillo" (Miguel Ángel Ferriz). He'd change his mind as he realized the successor's lack of fitness--and he'd pay the ultimate price. Julio Bracho's banned-for-decades take on the Martín Luis Guzmán parable regarding the Serrano assassination co-stars Tomás Perrín, Barbara Gil. 129 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish; Subtitles: English. In Spanish with English subtitles.
