Trivia:
For years, this movie's original prints were under restoration at the Mexico National Autonomous University Filmotheque (Filmoteca de la UNAM), to be finally released in 2001. During 2000, Mexican music ensemble LAUDES was comissioned to write a score for the (silent)movie. On 1 August 2002, on occasion of Juan Diego being elevated to Sainthood, Mexican TV Channel Once TV broadcast the fully restored movie from the original surviving prints, as a special event, with LAUDES performing the score compiled for the movie, which included authentic prehispanic instruments and music (for the sequences involving Juan Diego and the Virgin) and musical pieces from the early 1910's. moreFAQ

V. early film on Mexican national religious figure. Woman, anxious over spouse's perilous voyage, reads up on the Virgin of Guadaloupe. Flashback to Juan Diego's revelation of the Virgin is the body of the film.
Worth seeing for several reasons: some moving acting, even if the Virgin is something out of a pageant, and fundamentally a great story of indigenous re-imagination of Spanish Catholic religion. Title sequence, in which the actors are presented as their characters is very pictorial and poignant.
Mexican silent films as a group are very rare -- very few survive.
Shown in DC and NYC in 2004.
