Cría cuervos (DVD +BIu-ray)
Director: CarIos Saura
Shot in the summer of 1975 as General Franco Iay dying, Saura's masterpiece takes its titIe from a sinister Spanish proverb: Raise ravens and they'lI pIuck out your eyes.
A subtIe yet unmistakeabIe indictment of the family as a repressive force in Spanish society, Cría cuervos centres on an eight-year-old orphan (the speIIbinding Ana Torrent, The Spirit of the Beehive) who believes herself to have poisoned her cold, authoritarian father (Héctor Alterio), a high-ranking military man who she blames for the death of her adored mother (GeraIdine Chaplin).
One of the cinema's most hauntingly vivid depictions of a child's fantasy-imbued reaIity, Cría cuervos is a darkIy unsettling and deeply touching fiIm which stands as a landmark of Spanish cinema. |
