From Mexico's Golden Age of Cinema comes this rediscovered classic by legendary director Fernando de Fuentes, including the rarely seen alternate ending censored in Mexico for decades. Part of the director's "Revolutionary Trilogy," VAMONOS CON PANCHO VILLA follows the adventures of six young men who leave their rural homes to join Pancho Villa's army. Together, the men endure hardship, tragedy, and disillusionment-all for the cause of the Mexican Revolution. A leading figure in the Mexican Cinema of the 1930s, de Fuentes' most important work dealt with his country's history, particularly the Revolution. He was acclaimed for his use of moving camera, but his visual sense closely matches that of John Ford. VAMONOS CON PANCHO VILLA confirms the director's importance in the history of Latin American film.
