El otro Francisco
1974 · 1 hr 37 mins
Based on the novel Francisco by Anselmo Suárez y Romero, "The Other Francisco" is a socio-economic analysis of slavery and class struggle through the retelling of the original novel. The film contrasts the romantic conceptions of plantation life found in Suárez Romero's novel with a realistic expose of the actual historical conditions of slavery throughout the Americas. It offers a critical analysis of the novel, showing how the author's social background led to his use of particular dramatic structures to convey his liberal, humanitarian viewpoint.
Director: Sergio Giral
Cast: Margarita Balboa, Miguel Benavides, Armando Bianchi, Alden Knight, Adolfo Llauradó
