La Hora De Los Valientes

New Spanish Civil War Film

By Jaime De Miguel


This film has just been released in Spain, it won the International Jury award in the Moscow XXI film festival. It is the story of a young Museo del Prado - a CNT guard who saves an takes home an important painting - saving it from the bombing, and the relationship with his Grandfather--a pure anarchist (the actor playing this role is actually a 250 "Blue" division veteran). There are some action scenes (mostly trench combat) and a very good war atmosphere with very good captions on the 'metro refuges' and the siege. The Director Antonio Mercero is well known for his TV work.
