Bracho directed an all-star cast in this historical epic that tells the story of how the Virgin of Guadalupe became the rallying symbol for an independent Mexico. Not as critically nor commercially successful as his two previous films, also shot by Figueroa, LA VIRGEN has become an icon of Mexican kitsch symbolism, love it or hate it, it’s a must-see for any Mexican film fan.
