El sur (1983)
Country: SP/FR
Technical: col 94m
Director: Victor Erice
Cast: Omero Antonutti, Lola Cardona, Sonsoles Aranguren, Icíar Bollaín
Synopsis:
A grown woman looks back over her relationship with her father, trying to understand his sadness and the stories he clung to.
Review:
Like The Spirit of the Beehive this is a recreation of a time and place, vivid if minute in its scope. The title is misleading: this is not the sultry Spain we imagine. The actress playing the girl is wonderful but her restricted viewpoint does not allow us quite to appreciate the father's predicament.
