Alatriste movie
Alatriste is a 2006 Spanish epic historical fiction war film directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes, based on the main character of a series of novels written by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, The Adventures of Captain Alatriste (Las aventuras del Capitán Alatriste). The story takes place across Europe during the 17th century.
The film, which stars Viggo Mortensen, is the second most expensive Spanish language film ever made in Spain (about €24 million – US$30 million); only preceded by Agora.
The film is particularly notable for its rendition of the Battle of Rocroi, discussed here. This was a significant defeat of Spain by France in the Thirty Years War.
Alias Elephant was used for caption and credit type — as far as I know a one-off for the typeface. A bespoke or customised serif type is used for the film title.
The logo appears to be based on Bookman, in tightly spaced and distressed caps, with a barless A (or upside-down and mirrored V), an upsidedown S, and a cropped E.
