Guernica (1950)
Directed by Alain
Resnais and Robert Hessens this film is narrated by Maria Casares. A
poem about the bombing of Guernica is read over various pieces of art
inspired by the tragedy.
Doing a really good
job of mixing art and spoken word this film is a haunting look at the
biggest crime of the Spanish Civil War. Using art like this might be
somewhat unusual but works well here. Even if the film is slightly
abstract thanks to it's method it still manages to be very human.
4/5
