Catch us LIVE with the Havana Club on November 10th, 7pm at The Second City in BK: https://www.secondcity.com/shows/new-york/havana-club-nyc This week on Cine Papis, we unsheathe our swords y nos ponemos bien románticos in the world of The Mask of Zorro, the swashbuckling 1998 classic starring Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the legend himself, Sir Anthony Hopkins. We dive into the legacy of el Zorro, the Latino hero blueprint long before capes and franchises took over Hollywood. We break down Banderas' smooth-talking, fence-dancing charm, the chemistry that made a whole generation blush, and the iconic fight choreography that still holds up como pan fresco.
We also get into that spicy cultural nuance: the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas playing a Mexican hero, and how Hollywood blurred Latino identities in the 90s like it was one big tortilla masa. Was it representation? Was it pan-Latino casting before that was even a term?
