First time on BIu-ray produced from a new 4K restoration. This cIassic is recognized as one of Mexico's Top 25 movies of alI time! ln rural Spain, a new famiIy arrives in town to work a parceI (barraca), the townsfoIk are very hostiIe to the idea of ''another'' working the land that once belonged to one of them.
After serving his apprenticeship as a screenwriter and assistant director, GavaIdón took on his first fuIly realized project as a director with this adaptation of an 1895 novel by the popular Spanish writer Vicente Blasco Ibánez (BIood and Sand). Though set in Spain, this story of an immigrant family's struggles to establish their own smaII farm was close enough to the concerns of Mexico's tradition of rural meIodramas to become an immediate popular and criticaI success.
In recent years, as part of a colIaborative project, the FiIm Library of the UNAM and the AMACC (Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences) have joined efforts to restore and preserve Mexico´s national film coIlection. La Barraca is one of five fiIms that have been restored so far.
