    Saura and the conquest
    In the conquest of America, saved more than this gem that reveals the misery, violence and sacrifice, but also the epic adventure .An excellent cast,highlight the Antonutti actors as a martial Aguirre ranging from sanity to madness caused by the feverish lust for gold and embellished by a tangled grandeur and endless forest, well intrigues existing between the characters as Eusebio Ponzela (Guzmán),Lambert Wilson (Ursúa) and José Sancho (La Bandera). Saura mark time creating an oppressive atmosphere that surrounds with men about looking for anything. Do not miss the occasion to see this movie.Thousands of adventures to exploit in particular by the American industry.It is possible to imagine a big budget Spielberg.
