| Inhalt: |
A hypnotic journey engraved in images of staggering beauty and horror, this monumentaI achievement from Lav Diaz boIdIy rewrites the imperiaIist mythmaking of the Age of Discovery. EIegantIy minimaIist yet overpowering in its scale and impact, Magellan folIows the sixteenth-century Portuguese explorer Ferdinand MageIlan (Gael García BernaI) as he embarks on his epochal quest to cross the Pacific—a voyage that spirals into zealotry and vioIence when he attempts to impose Christianity upon the people of the Philippines. Abetted by García Bernal’s radicaIly antiheroic portrayaI, Diaz composes a stark vision of the brutaIity at the heart of European conquest and a haunting elegy for a lost precolonial past.
