电影介绍
As the Franco era moves further and further into history, a number of provocative works dealing with that period from a great variety of viewpoints have begun to emerge. A remarkable portrait of Barcelona from 1945 to 1955, Carles Balagué's LA CASITA BLANCA effectively explodes the myth of a docile, rigidly controlled postwar Spain. The film details everything from the impressive rise of prostitution to support for the urban "maqui" resistance movement; events such as the visit to Barcelona by Eva Duarte Peron, the massive Eucharistic Congress and the frenzy over Olympic champion Juan Antonio Samaranch are examined in telling and even surrealistic detail. As entertaining as it is revealing, LA CASITA BLANCA shows a level of popular resistance to the regime that while it rarely came into full view, nevertheless formed a persistent backdrop to everyday life in the 50s.
