Movie: Un cinéma sous influence

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    We had to wait until the Spanish “Movida” of the 1980s to see films that did not emanate from Francoist propaganda. But Spain had already experienced a period of cinematic splendor, during the civil war, when the film studios were under the control of the Republicans. By describing the "competition" between Republican and Francoist cinemas of the time, Richard Prost provides a unique vision of the Spanish Civil War.
