Vida en sombras
This moving feature displays the extent to which the Civil War impinged on the life of one man with a passion for the cinema. A jewel of Spanish filmmaking produced in the pall of “franquismo,” the independent production faced censorship and other official resistance. Little known until its recent rediscovery, the film is now hailed as a cinematic rarity, free from the aesthetic and ideological constraints of 1940s Spanish cinema.
