With a roving camera probing the haunting and ethereal drawings by Pablo Auladell, the story of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, his Nahua interpreter Malinche and the conquest of the Aztec empire is reconstructed by romancier-director Gonzalo Suárez. Having been a law unto himself even amongst the nonconformists of the 'Escola de Barcelona', Suárez' forte as a writer and filmmaker is narratives imbued with mystery, often enough fantasy-gone-horror, but sometimes simply something strange, weird and dreamlike.
El sueño de Malinche maintains threads of that style, considering the mythical dimensions ingrained in this historical apocalypse. Remarkably, with dozens of films under his belt in myriad shapes and forms, Suárez has for this film chosen a technique and style that leaves one with the feeling that at the age of 84, Suárez has reinvented himself once again!
