Watch our Cineclub Pelikula discussion of The Holy Innocents by Mario Camus
The Holy Innocents is about a family of serfs living on a hacienda in Zafra, Extremadura in Spain (same region seen in Las Hurdes by Buñuel). The film is based on a novel by Miguel Delibes, and the setting is the 1960s but it could just as well be the 1860s.
Thanks to filmmakers Mike Alcazaren and Elvert Bañares, and scholar Marina Diaz for joining our discussion.
