Toros One

At first sight, it a film about the bullfight. However, the standings about of a bull which accompany in soundtrack the public surrendering the arena already express a gap appropriate for a critical representation: the fate of this population is confidentially connected to that of the bull. Besides differently, the repeatedly returns of an old poster, probably republican, representing Hitler under the features of a matador in full action. This image transcends the documentary value of the film to raise it into a strongly symbolic dimension. In fact, we are after the death of Franco. Cyril Hurel

Under the Volcano

Against a background of war breaking out in Europe and the Mexican fiesta Day of Death, we are taken through one day in the life of Geoffrey Firmin, a British consul living in alcoholic disrepair and obscurity in a small southern Mexican town in 1939. The consul's self-destructive behaviour, perhaps a metaphor for a menaced civilization, is a source of perplexity and sadness to his nomadic, idealistic half-brother, Hugh, and his ex-wife, Yvonne, who has returned with hopes of healing Geoffrey and their broken marriage.
