Rebuffed by the Portuguese king, Ferdinand Magellan sets sail to the Spice Islands with the support of the Spanish crown. His years-long voyage across uncharted waters, marred by mistrust, mutiny and madness, profoundly changes the nature of his quest.
« While Magellan reps Diaz’s best shot at general arthouse distribution in some time, it’s no artistic compromise. The spirit of slow cinema is alive and languid in this stunningly mounted, politically rigorous work, which confronts any viewers hoping for a sweeping biographical romp with a frank post-colonial perspective, thoroughly and violently dismantling any romanticized legacy trailing the eponymous Portuguese navigator. » (Variety)
.
« Diaz’s first project strapped with an A-list actor in García Bernal, who gives the greatest performance of his career. » (The A.V. Club)
