Carlos Saura's exquisite Cria Cuervos...heralded a turning point in
Spain: Shot while General Franco was on his deathbed, the film
melds the personal and the political in a portrait of the legacy of
fascism and its effects on a middle-class family (the title derives
from the Spanish proverb: "Raise ravens and they'll peck out your
eyes"). Ana Torrent(the dark-eyed beauty from The Spirit of the
Beehive) portrays the disturbed eight-year-old Ana, living in
Madrid with her two sisters and mourning the death of her mother,
whom she conjures as a ghost (played by an ethereal Geraldine
Chaplin). Seamlessly shifting between fantasy and reality, the film
subtly evokes both the complex feelings of childhood and the
struggles of a nation emerging from the shadows.
