Carlos Saura - 1976
I mean, it's not terrible, but I can't really think of anything nice to say about it. Quite a heavy camera creeps around a bit, in pretty long takes, slowly moving in and out (though there is what I would describe as pointless cutting, perhaps down to inadequacies of framing). There is a hell of a lot of Kuleshoving with the little girl, her blank expression I suppose intended to be charming or meaningful, which I didn't really find. Th washes out palette is pretty ugly, not in a very interesting way.
Childhood / children can be interesting when considered from an adult perspective, used to cast light on an adult world; in itself, it is idiotic and boring. Harsh but fair, I think...
