Canciones para despues de una Guerra

This film was made in 1970 but immediately banned by Franco's censors; a ban which would last until the Caudillo's death. The film mixes interpretations of popular Spanish songs (romantic, patriotic and religious songs), filmed with an aesthetic concern bordering on the kitsch, with frank and forthright images of everyday life under Franco's dictatorship. The contrasts between the forced optimism and banality of the songs and the harsh scenes of reality provide an astonishing overall vision.
