Cría cuervos

Carlos Saura / ES, 1975 / 110 min.

Ana Torrent is unforgettable as Ana, a girl wandering a home suffused with grief, secrets and the shade of her deceased mother. This mysterious coming-of-age classic became a key work in Spanish cinema with the country gingerly dealing with its ghosts. 4K restoration.
