Pipistrella's Film Review: CRÍA CUERVOS /RAISE RAVENS (1975)
The title of this film comes from the Spanish proverb"Raise ravens, and they will pluck out your eyes."(Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos)
In this deeply subversive master piece, Carlos Saura evokes both the complex feelings of a repressed childhood and the problematic relations within a repressed nation (Spain during Franco's last days)... Freedom becomes possible only when all unpleasant authorities e.g. patriarchal figures have died. Click CRIA CUERVOS Video
