Let's Go with Pancho Villa (1936) Reviews

The particular cycle that I improvised this last month, "Vámonos con Pancho Villa!" is the film that I found with a stronger and better script finished all I've seen so far today.

The enrollment of a group of farmers in the same town on the Mexican Revolution is a very well-crafted study of personalities that strengthen their friendship in the hardships of war, realizing that in her idealism and courage are not enough. The naivete of the protagonists, "los leones de San Pablo", gives more credibility and charm to them and reinforces the story from a human perspective that never falls into the easy sentimentality.

Gabriel Figueroa's camera does the rest to round out a story that does not decay at any time and followed by certain interest in what is one of the essential titles of Mexican cinema.
