LA SOLDADERA
DIRECTOR: JOSÉ BOLAÑOS
MEXICO, 1966
“The Spanish term “soldaderas” refers to the women who followed men into combat during the Revolution, many of them wives of soldiers on the front lines. Sergei Eisenstein had planned to include a section devoted to the ‘soldaderas’ in his ill-fated production, QUE VIVA MEXICO, but the scenario was never shot. Under the Russian’s seminal influence, director José Bolaños crafts a fitting portrait of the women of the Revolution through the story of Lázara (played by frequent Buñuel collaborator Silvia Pinal) who faces the trials and tribulations of war with stoic grace.”—Pacific Film Archive. (88 mins.)
