Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
ROSA ROSAE. A SPANISH CIVIL WAR ELEGY
Rosa Rosae. La guerra civil
Synopsis
Saura creates and recovers more than thirty images, drawings and photos that he prints, manipulates, plays with and then films, to create a story that recreates the Spanish civil war, but also reflects the horrors of a universal war, from the eyes of a child and its environment.

Our take
The Spanish Civil War profoundly shaped the childhood of legendary director Carlos Saura, whose prolific film career outlived Franco’s brutal dictatorship. This 6-minute musical wonder is a moving child’s-eye look at how conflict warps youth, captured in crumbling, expressive charcoal strokes.
