A moving and classic Spanish drama based on the famous Miguel Delibes novel by the same title.
Directed by Mario Camus • Spain 1984 • 105 min • Digital • Spanish with English subtitles • Drama • Certificate: 12A
In 1960s Spain, Paco, his wife, Régula and his brother-in-law Azarias work for slave wages on a large plantation. Paco, a brilliant hunter, tries to use his skills to win over his heartless employers, but his talents earn him little respect. Meanwhile, after the aging Azarias loses his job, he is forced to move in with Paco, Régula and their three kids, which further complicates the lives of this impoverished family.
This film screening belongs to IberoDocs “Diving into the Archives" new strand- Miguel Delibes Centenary.
IberoDocs “Diving Into the Archives” new strand includes screenings of archival material, as well as classical films presented with an artistic twist. It looks into re-interpreting history with a new gaze.
This year’s new strand features the legacy of two of the most famous proponents of Spanish cinema and literature spanning the pre- and post-civil war periods: Luis Buñuel and Miguel Delibes; with 2020 being the centenary of the latter’s birth.
Delibes was one of the leading figures of post-civil war Spanish literature. His realist fiction is best known for its critical analysis of 20th century Spanish society. Several of his works have been adapted into films that have won awards at many international film festivals, including the Cannes film festival.
The Holy Innocents is based on the novel of the same title and picked up numerous awards at various film festivals. It was voted one of the best Spanish films of the 20th century. The story exemplifies several of the recurring themes in Delibes' narrative work: the oppression by the dominant social classes, and the disdain and humiliations meted out to uneducated servants.
This film screening is part of the 7th edition of IberoDocs, the Ibero-American Documentary Film Festival in Scotland (26 FEB - 15 MARCH).
“Diving Into the Archives” new IberoDocs strand is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, funded by Screen Scotland and Lottery funding from the BFI.
