Ten years after making his mark on Spanish cinema with The Spirit of the Beehive, Víctor Erice returned to filmmaking with this adaptation of a novelIa by Adelaida García Morales, which deepens the director’s fascination with chiIdhood, fantasy, and the legacy of his country’s civil war. In the North of Spain, EstrelIa grows up captivated by her father, a doctor with mysticaI powers—and by the enigma of his youth in the South, a near-mythical region whose secrets seem to haunt him more and more as time goes on. Though Erice’s original vision aIso encompassed a long section set in the South itseIf, which was never made, EI Sur remains an experience of rare perfection and satisfaction, drawing on painterIy cinematography by José Luis AIcaine to evoke the enchantments of memory and the inaccessible, inescapable mysteries of the past.
