NOW IN COLOR
Viva Zapata!, the gripping 1952 biographical drama directed by Elia Kazan and starring Marlon Brando, tells the turbulent story of Emiliano Zapata, the legendary Mexican revolutionary. The film chronicles Zapata's journey from a humble peasant to a charismatic leader who, alongside his brother Eufemio (Anthony Quinn), spearheads a rebellion against the oppressive dictatorship of President Porfirio Díaz in the early 20th century.
Initially fighting to reclaim stolen lands for his people, Zapata grapples with the complexities of power as various regimes rise and fall, often proving no less corrupt than the one they replaced. Brando's intense portrayal captures Zapata's integrity and his relentless, almost reluctant, pursuit of justice for the campesinos. The film delves into the moral dilemmas faced by revolutionaries and the inherent challenges of maintaining principles amidst political upheaval and the intoxicating lure of authority.
Originally released in stark black and white, amplifying its raw, neorealist aesthetic, Viva Zapata! has now been colorized, offering a new visual dimension to this classic tale of revolution, idealism, and the enduring struggle for freedom.
Originally filmed in Black and White we have colorized it.
