    Far from the Trees (1972)

    Held up for seven years before it was released, Far from the Trees seems like a perfect successor to Luis Buñuel’s Land Without Bread. Like that earlier film, it is a kind of impressionistic travelogue that shows a Spain far from the beaten paths of the tourist resorts; not only poverty but the persistence of superstitions and occult beliefs captured by the film rebuke the image of a forward-looking, modern Spain that by the 60s was being promoted by the Franco regime. Esteva Grewe largely allows the images and juxtapositions to speak for themselves, giving the film a lyrical feeling that somewhat softens its social criticism – though obviously not enough for the censors.

    Bodas de sangre (1981)

    Blood Wedding (Spanish: Bodas de sangre) is a 1981 Spanish musical film written and directed by Carlos Saura. It was directed and choreographed in the flamenco style. It is the first part of Saura’s 1980s flamenco trilogy, and is followed by Carmen (1983) and El amor brujo (1986).

    The film depicts Antonio Gades and his dance company performing a flamenco adaptation of Federico García Lorca’s play Blood Wedding. As with all Saura’s flamenco films, the film is overtly theatrical: it begins with the company arriving at the studio and putting on costumes and makeup. The dance is then performed in a bare windowed space with a minimum of props and no set. There are no elaborate costumes and many of the actors wear only their rehearsal clothes.
