Alatriste
Agustin Diaz Yanes, 147 Min, Spain 2006, Adventure.
Starring Viggo Mortensen, "Alatriste" is the most expensive Spanish-language film ever made. Its stunning visuals were inspired by one of Spain's greatest artist, Diego Velazquez.
Set in the 17th century imperial Spain under the reign of Philip IV, a weak and easily manipulated monarch dominated by a corrupt court. Intrigue and betrayal, duels and battles, love and hatred are the stage for the adventures of “Alatriste". In His Majesty's service, a proud soldier in Flanders and in times of peace, a hired sword in Madrid and Seville. He wasn't the most virtuous of men, nor the most devout, but he was a man of valour. His name was Diego Alatriste.
