CaVHS 946.02 THE BURIED MIRROR – REFLECTIONS ON SPAIN AND THE NEW WORLD. Prog. 1, The Virgin and the Bull, Best-selling Mexican author Carlos Fuentes looks for his forebears in the mix of people that created Latin America: Spanish, Arab, Jewish, Indian, and African. His quest takes him from the quayside at Vera Cruz “where the Mediterranean comes to an end in the Caribbean” back to Spain, to the dark caves of Altamira, the harsh sunlight of the bullring, and the stamping feet of the flamenco dancers. Public Media Video, 1991, Color, 59 min. Starring Carlos Fuentes. $30.00
CaVHS 946.02 THE BURIED MIRROR – REFLECTIONS ON SPAIN AND THE NEW WORLD. Prog. 2, Conflict of the Gods, In his lifetime, Carlos Fuentes has witnessed the rediscovery of the ancient Aztec temples beneath the central square of modern Mexico City. He retraces the Indian world through their pyramids and sculptures, a world of precise astronomy and human sacrifice, serenity, and violence. Public Media Video, 1991, Color , 59 min. Starring Carlos Fuentes. $30.00
CaVHS 946.02 THE BURIED MIRROR – REFLECTIONS ON SPAIN AND THE NEW WORLD, Prog. 3, The Ages of Gold, The New World brought Spain (and ultimately Europe) enormous treasures: gold, silver, chocolate, tomatoes, the potato. Yet Spain’s most powerful ruler, Philip II, lived in austere solitude in a cell-like study. He sought to protect the Catholic faith, while the Spanish author Cervantes questioned all values in Don Quixote. At the court, Velazquez painted masterpieces of psychological penetration, and the Baroque style vaulted the Atlantic and celebrated its transformation into a tool for Indian fantasy in the magnificent churches of Potosi and Ocotlan. Public Media Video, 1991, Color , 59 min. Starring Carlos Fuentes $30.00
CaVHS 946.02 THE BURIED MIRROR – REFLECTIONS ON SPAIN AND THE NEW WORLD, Prog. 4, The Price of Freedom, Every year, a million Mexicans gather in the great central square of their capital to celebrate El Grito, the cry for independence. Following its progress, Carlos Fuentes crosses the Andes in the steps of Bolivar and San Martin. The liberators suceeded in throwing off the Spanish yoke, but they found it harder to establish a just society. For the gaucho there was the consolation of the open spaces, the mountains, and the plains. And for those crowding into the new cities like Buenos Aires, there was the tango, a sad thought that can be danced. Public Media Video, 1991, Color , 59 min. Starring Carlos Fuentes. $30.00
