Nahuatl movies

[R. Joe Campbell]

Nocnihuan,

   I clicked on the web address that Miguel supplied and saw the list of 
nine movies and wished that HBO or American Movie Classics would schedule 
them for October.

   When I saw the title "Llamatlan", it piqued my curiosity, so I clicked 
on it, thinking that maybe it was a hybridized Spanish word (Lugar de 
llamas).  No such luck -- if I remember correctly, they translated it as 
"Lugar de mujeres ancianas", indicating that someone at some point had 
interpreted "Ilamatlan" incorrectly, perceiving the initial "I" as an "L"
-- and no one in the group knew any better.

You might add:

  http://imdb.com/title/tt0441022/

to see "El muerto", a movie based on the comic book of the same name.
Although it isn't totally scripted in Nahuatl, it does contain numerous
attempts to include Nahuatl phrases in the dialogue.

Iztayohmeh,

Joe
