Taking the opening slot at the upcoming San Sebastian Film Festival is Felipe Cazals' western drama Chicogrande, and why not? If the trailer is anything to go by this thing is absolutely sumptuous. Here's how San Sebastian describes it:
Following the frustrated invasion of Columbus, Pancho Villa retreats, only to be injured in the leg by Carranza's troops in the city of Guerrero. The North Americans, on Mexican territory, launch a massive campaign to capture him dead or alive. Convalescent, Villa takes refuge deep in the mountains. Chicogrande, a young follower of Villa, is given the task of finding medical assistance and is prepared to give up his own life in the attempt.
The interesting thing here is that the trailer actually appears to focus more on the American Cavalry in pursuit of Villa than on Villa himself, which makes for an interesting spin on the film's perspective. While...

Madrid -- Mexican director Felipe Cazals' historical "Chicogrande" will premiere internationally when it opens the 58th San Sebastian International Film Festival, festival organizers announced Friday as they added three other films to the official competition lineup.
"Chicogrande" uses the Mexican revolution as the backdrop for his frontier western/adventure movie that centers on the U.S.'s "Punitive Expedition" to punish Pancho Villa in what was to be the last major campaign of the U.S. Calvary.
Two love stories -- China's "Addicted to Love," directed by Liu Hao, and Germany-Swiss "Colors in the Dark," directed by Sophie Heldman, will also vie for the Golden Shell at Spain's top film festival next month, along with South Korean Kim Je-Woon's thriller "I Saw the Devil."
The festival, which has already announced 11 films to compete for the top prize, said it would add more titles before the festival runs Sept. 17-25 in Spain's northern Basque region.
