Classic work of Spanish cinema

An excellent film. The story is brilliantly told, with some scenes of such sadness that you will weep, while others will have you laughing aloud. The director, Carlos Saura, has captured an amazing performance by a child actress (Ana Torrent) which is the cornerstone for the whole film. We see her world from her point of view, including the tensions within the family due to the arrogance and brutality of her father. Geraldine Chaplin gives a great performance too, as the girl's mother, showing her love for her daughters and her despair at her husband's philandering. There is no direct reference to Franco's Spain, but the oppressive, dictatorial regime of the father makes a clear comparison. There is a note of ambivalence at the end, as the girls' aunt shows some of the same attitudes as the father - but the ambivalence is entirely appropriate as Spain tries to adjust to life after Franco.- Was this review helpful to you?
