Land Without Bread
(1933)
Directed by Luis
Bunuel this documentary has a voice over by Alexandre O'Neill in the
English version. We explore a harsh, mountainous region of Spain here
poverty is rife.
This film shows a
stark and desolate way of life and does so through the dispassionate
tone of a disinterested narrator. At times I am left wondering how
much is real and how much is added for affect but the film does a
good job of showing how the people are abandoned by both the state
and the Church. Some of the image quality was not the best on the
version I watched but that could just have been as I was watching a
youtube upload.
4/5
