| Inhalt | Der Film basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Rómulo Gallegos. Der Film erzählt die Geschichte der wohlhabenden, einflussreichen Gro?grundbesitzerin Doña Bárbara. Sowohl im privaten als auch im öffentlichen Leben gilt ihre Meinung als unanfechtbar, bis eines Tages Santos Luzardo, der Besitzer des benachbarten Anwesens, aus dem Ausland zurückkehrt und die Machtverhältnisse infrage stellt. (Instituto Cervantes) |

| Inhalt | When one envisions films of dark sexual obsession, the Western is generally not the genre that comes to mind. However, some motion pictures have boldly deviated from the classic cowboy-meets-schoolmarm romance, to put perverse twists on the traditional romantic formula.
In several cases, the revisionist romance occurs when the woman is the one wearing the pants (and boots, and wielding the whip). Joan Crawford in Nicholas Ray's Johnny Guitar (1954) and Barbara Stanwyck in Sam Fuller's Forty Guns (1957) have reversed the female stereotype to become leather-clad man-eaters, but they did so in the shadow of the screen's first true devoradora -- devourer of men. This role belongs exclusively to Mexican actress Maria Felix, mainly as a result of her memorable performance in Fernando de Fuentes's 1943 film Dona Barbara.
Set on the dusty savannas of Venezuela, Dona Barbara is a sublimely melodramatic fable of a young woman (Maria Felix) who is raped and her would-be lover killed by a group of brutal seamen. She settles on the arid plains and becomes a cattle trader, ruthlessly building an empire out of violence and cold-hearted determination. According to the film's introduction, "nothing can placate her loathing toward men." She rules the plains with an iron fist, while her daughter, Marisela (Maria Elena Marques), roams the llanos as an almost feral woman-child. When a powerful lawyer, Santos Luzardo (Julian Soler), arrives in the region to sell off his family's ranch, he seems nothing more than another man ripe for crushing. But Dona Barbara becomes fascinated by this handsome stranger... (Bret Wood, TCM) |
