Filmmaker Carlos Saura, who led the awakening of Spain’s art cinema after decades of fascist dictatorship under Francisco Franco and captivated international audiences with passionate flamenco choreography dramas, died on Friday. He was 91.
MADRID —
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez tweeted: “Carlos Saura leaves us, a fundamental figure of Spanish culture.” Mr. Saura first gained wide international fame with Cria Cuervos in 1977, a symbolic treatment of death and Spanish society seen through the eyes of a young girl and starring his muse and common-law wife Geraldine Chaplin as her mother.
Bespectacled and introspective, Mr. Saura cultivated a hermetic image, and was more concerned with self-expression than profits. A critic once said he resembled a seminary student more than a member of the slick film world.
