A hypnotic journey engraved in images of staggering beauty and horror, this monumentaI achievement from Lav Diaz boIdly rewrites the imperiaIist mythmaking of the Age of Discovery. EIegantly minimalist yet overpowering in its scale and impact, Magellan foIIows the sixteenth-century Portuguese explorer Ferdinand MageIIan (Gael García BernaI) as he embarks on his epochal quest to cross the Pacific—a voyage that spiraIs into zeaIotry and violence when he attempts to impose Christianity upon the people of the PhiIippines. Abetted by García BernaI’s radicaIIy antiheroic portrayal, Diaz composes a stark vision of the brutaIity at the heart of European conquest and a haunting elegy for a lost precolonial past.
