Banderas, the Tyrant (Spanish: Tirano Banderas) is a 1993 internationally co-produced film directed by José Luis García Sánchez. It is an adaptation of the 1926 novel Tirano Banderas by Ramón María del Valle-Inclán. It was produced by companies from Spain, Cuba and Mexico. It stars Gian Maria Volonté as the title character, also featuring Ana Belén, Juan Diego, Fernando Guillén, Ignacio López Tarso and Javier Gurruchaga.
Plot
An adaptation of the (often presented as "unadaptable") novel Tirano Banderas, a standout work of the esperpento genre which underpins a criticism of abuses of power, the plot tracks the developments in the fictitious republic of Santa Fe de Tierra Firme, ruled by megalomaniac dictator Santos Banderas. The dictator has been noted to display an amalgamation of features from real dictators such as Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, Miguel Primo de Rivera or Juan Vicente Gómez.
Cast

Release
The 50th Venice International Film Festival ruled out the film for its official competition. It screened as the only Spanish film in competition at the Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) in October 1993, where it met polarizing opinions. The film had a limited theatrical release in Galicia before the end of the year just so it could become eligible for the 8th Goya Awards, where it won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay and 5 additional awards in technical categories. It had a wide theatrical release in Spain on 14 January 1994.
