La iglesia, a lo largo de la historia, siempre se ha enfrentado al cine como uno de sus principales censores. “Nuevo Mundo” cuestiona el mito guadalupano al presentar cómo para someter a los indios, un sacerdote jesuita inventa la presencia de una Virgen que pide la reconciliación entre conquistadores y conquistados. Retes nos presenta en esta película una alegoría del método utilizado por los españoles para imponer su religión y asumir con ello un completo poder político sobre los indígenas. Producida en 1976, “Nuevo Mundo” fue boicoteada en su exhibición por el controvertido tema al que hace referencia. (FILMAFFINITY)
