Summary |
In the form of an audiovisual letter addressed to Virginie, one of his daughters, Hervé Pernot recounts how he discovered Spain in the 1960s and how he has remained faithful to it ever since. Through this personal perspective, an entire chapter of Spanish history is explored: the final years of Francoism, memories of the Civil War, the boom of mass tourism, the democratic transition, the economic crisis of 2008, and the emergence of new political forces such as Podemos.
Many aspects of Spanish culture are also evoked in a personal way: the legend of El Cid, the paintings of Velázquez and Goya, picaresque novels, the films of Luis Buñuel, bullfighting, Andalusian music, and the Movida.
Vision d’Espagne is composed of archival footage shot by the director since 1963, along with present-day sequences in which the filmmaker constantly compares his own perspective with that of other Hispanists such as Jean-Claude Carrière, Marie-Claude Dana, and Francesc Queixalos. |
