Magellan
Gael García Bernal stars as the legendary Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in this sweeping historical epic. Tasked by the Spanish crown to find a western route to the Spice Islands, Magellan leads his fleet through the uncharted Pacific, battling starvation, mutiny, and psychological collapse. Upon reaching the Philippines, his relentless ambition to spread Catholicism sparks a fatal conflict with the local population. Director Lav Diaz deconstructs the myth of the explorer, capturing both the humanity and the cruelty behind this pivotal chapter of the modern era.
