Nobleza Araucana (1925)
1 votes
Chilean lost film about the dispossession of Mapuche lands in the southern frontier. A romance between white characters softens the edges, but the real weight falls on the figure of a cacique who chooses to forgive the settler who wronged him, a nobility that reads more like resignation than triumph. Shot on location over six months in the Arauco region. Marketed as a triumph of Chilean cinema.
