El Sur (Criterion Collection)

Growing up in the North of Spain in the 1950s, young Estrella Arenas (Sonsoles Aranguren) had nothing but affection and reverence for her physician father Agustín (Omero Antonutti). Still, he would never speak of his youth in the Civil War-era South...and as a teenager (Icíar Bollaín), her wishes to delve into his past led to stunning revelations. Lyrical effort from director Víctor Erice ("The Spirit of the Beehive") co-stars Aurore Clément, Lola Cardona, Rafaela Aparicio. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Spanish with English subtitles.
