Victor Erice - El Sur (1983) (Reupload)

The movie tells a melancholic story of a little girl who is living in a city in the north. She is fascinated by the secrets of the south which seem to be hidden in the personality of her father.
Somewhere in the North of Spain, Estrella's father represents an unknown and fascinating world in her childhood. As she grows up, she learns that he once had a lover, and that he's still in love with her.(http://imdb.com/title/tt0084740/plotsummary)


It must be almost twenty years since I saw this movie but the memory remains in me like an old haunting dream from childhood. Cinematography at its best. I think, for the first time, this film made me think that the best media for poetry is not words, but vision. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0084740/usercomments)


Based on Adelaida Garcia Morales homonym tale, the film is a cadenced story about a little girl who we see growing up in the screen. Estrella (Sonsoles Aranguren at 8 and Iciar Bollain at 15) reminds the relationship with her strange father, a blue republican medicine doctor in a northern little and still village of Spain at the fifties…..El Sur is the most personal and powerful Spanish film ever made (http://imdb.com/title/tt0084740/usercomments)


Beautifully filmed in natural lighting, even in the interior of an old rural house (Ezcaray, La Rioja), the deep feelings transmitted between daughter and father reveal a delicacy so often missing in more banal entertainment. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0084740/usercomments)


Victor Erice's little masterpiece earned itself a permanent place in the repertoire of Spanish film-making…According to "Contemporary Spanish Cinema" by Barry Jordan and Rikki Morgan-Tamosunas (Manchester, 1998), this is one of the key Spanish films, and that does not surprise me in the least. The authors use the word "gravitas" to describe the director, but that word applies equally to this film. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0084740/usercomments)
