Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, from his cell in the Military Hospital of Chihuahua, remembers some passages of his life: mainly his years as local Priest in the town of San Felipe Torres Mochas where he mingled with the low socio economical class and the Independence ideas were born; translated and produced Moliere plays, fell in love with Josefa Quintana and remained distant from his church life, for some years.
Hidalgo is a central figure of Mexico’s Independence. This film is distributed in Mexico by Twentieth Century Fox, was released yesterday –September 16th- with 500 copies all across the country. It is a co production with IMCINE (Mexican Cinematography Council), Conaculta (Mexico’s National Council & Fund for Arts and Culture) and Astillero Films.
The movie cast and crew had this Monday a successful press conference in Mexico City at a luxury hotel on Reforma Avenue, during the morning. All of them expressed how pleased and proud to be part of this great production that celebrates Mexico’s Bicentennial. During the afternoon, Antara mall in the heart of Polanco was the perfect setting for a red carpet event and premier of the film, with hundreds of guests.
After the movie, my father and one of his best friends, Jorge Galván (Special Guest Star in this movie), went to have dinner nearby. When they thought they were ready to leave, Demián Bichir –who portrayed Hidalgo- arrived with part of his family, they had a nice chat and took pictures. They were both on the movie and have known each other for a while. Certainly, this was a very nice coincidence to close that amazing day.
We will share some of them pictures they took with you:
