More Eye for Film reviews

Bertsolari
    I have been reviewing some of the films showing at ¡Viva! 20th Spanish and Latin American film festival at the Cornerhouse cinema in Manchester for Eye for Film. If you click on the titles, you will see my reviews of Los últimos días / The Last Days (Àlex Pastor and David Pastor, 2013) and Menú degustació / Tasting Menu (Roger Gual, 2013).
    I went to Manchester for the day on Sunday, to see two films - Carlos Saura's Los golfos / The Delinquents (1960) [yes, that does mean that the return of the Carlos Saura Challenge is imminent!] and Bertsolari (Asier Altuna, 2011), the latter of which is by far my favourite of the five films I've seen from the festival. A review of Los golfos will also appear on Eye for Film this week, but I will write a separate post for the blog so as to continue with the challenge.
