| Realism in Spanish Cinema |
|
| "I admire this group of filmmakers because they were brave enough to face the Franco regime but they had to do it using only their imagination. You needed to be very smart to avoid censorship and they did it using irony and dark humor but also by creating scenes that were very strong. They knew they would get censored so other scenes were subtle but probably even stronger in a way so they would pass the censors. To me these filmmakers were masters in their field not only because they were very brave but because they were facing the regime in a very subtle way."
Antonio Banderas on his choice retrospective,
"Realism in the Spanish Cinema, 1951-1963"
