About A Certain Captain Rodrigo
A knight, half soldier, half gaudério, dolphinfish hair in the sun, guitar on his back, enters the sleepy town of Santa Fe. Nobody could imagine that this man was also getting into their lives. Singing and drinking was winning the hearts of women and admiration of men. A storyteller of adventures, wars or lies? Based on the book by Erico Verissimo.
Directed by Anselmo Duarte, A Certain Captain Rodrigo leans on a strong ensemble — Francisco Di Franco, Elza De Castro, Pepita Rodríguez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1971.
