Carlos Saura passed away last weekend at the age of 91, leaving us with about fifty honorable films.
He was censored by the dictatorship and revolutionized Spanish cinema.
The atmospheres created by Carlos Saura are unique; his early films stood in stark contrast to Francoism, albeit without proclamations, precisely outlining bourgeois society.
In '65, he was awarded the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for the film "La Caccia," where the characters (a group of former Francoist fighters) consist of three comrades from the bourgeoisie who, during the Civil War, come together for a rabbit hunting trip that ends in a massacre.
Carlos Saura recounted, “One day Franco received me and said: it would be easier for me if you pointed a gun at me directly, rather than provoking me with your films.”
In '80, Stanley Kubrick declared in an interview his great appreciation for Carlos Saura, describing him as “A director of great splendor who wonderfully uses his actors.”
