Alatriste Series: Spanish Cinema Now! [Dec 8 - 26 2006] Director: Agustín Díaz Yanes, Country: Spain, Release: 2006, Runtime: 135 “Based on Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s best-selling series of novels, Agustín Díaz Yanes’s new film beautifully brings the life and times of the legendary Captain Diego Alatriste to the screen. Grandly paced, Alatriste conveys the grimness of an era rife with warfare, but also memorializes the courage of those who resisted injustice. The film is languidly elegiac in tone and Díaz Yanes’s funereal compositions are astonishingly reflective of Velazquez. The riveting Viggo Mortensen is ideally cast as Alatriste, a noble soldier of very few words and very large actions. ‘The sun never sets on the Spanish empire’ was a phrase coined in the 16th century; in the 17th century, the great empire was quickly falling into decline…Alatriste re-creates and explores the decadence that marked the collapse of an era.” – Diana Sanchez, 2006 Toronto International Film Festival Catalogue
