EL SUR - BLU-RAY
El Sur (DVD + Blu-ray)
A film by Victor Erice
Recalling her youth in 1950s northern Spain, Estrella revisits her relationship with her beloved father Agustin, raised in the south, and realises how little she knew of him and his secrets.
Victor Erice's delicate and mysterious film reveals his abiding fascination with memory and loss, missed opportunities and the links between private dreams and political realities. The performances, like the meticulously lit compositions and evocative soundtrack, are superb; Omero Antonutti is a charismatic Agustin, while Sonsoles Aranguren and IcĆar BollaĆn shine as, respectively, the young and teenaged Estrella. Exquisitely beautiful, profoundly moving.
