Saura was one of the first Spanish filmmakers to deal with the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath. In several films he explored the impact of the war years and of the postwar period on the men and women of his generation, those who were born in the 1930s and who suffered emotional and psychological damage that affected them well into

SAUTET DIRECTORS, 4th EDITION 866 their adult years. In a number of movies, we witness the efforts of Saura’s adult protagonists to resurrect their past memories in order to come to terms with them once and for all. In the course of their recollections, we see the negative effects not only of the war, but also of the repressive system of education and of the confining family structures that were consolidated by the triumph of Franco in the postwar period. Until Franco’s death in 1975, it was not possible to express this viewpoint openly. Films were censored first at the script stage and again upon completion. Nothing controversial was allowed. Even in the 1960s, a period of liberalization when some experimentation was allowed and the New Spanish Cinema movement was born, Saura and the other young directors associated with this movement walked a delicate and difficult line, trying to convey their ideas while avoiding the hurdles imposed by the censor. It was in this atmosphere that Saura developed his cinematic style and method of working. In order to deal with taboo subjects, he (and the other young directors of that time) resorted to tactics of allusion, association, and allegory. In one of Saura’s first movies, The Hunt, a hunting party arranged by four former comrades-in-arms under Franco is used to represent the legacy of the Civil War and the moral bankruptcy it has engendered. In other movies, Saura destroys the chronological sequence of events in order to show the impact of the past and its continued importance in explaining the present. Actions and events taking place in the present often recall or evoke corre￾sponding past moments, and Saura’s protagonists come to exist in several temporal dimensions simultaneously. We participate in their memories, dreams, and visions as Saura creates a fluid movement from present to past and in and out of dreams. What is original about these shifts in time and perspective is that Saura dispenses with the dissolves and soft-focus shots usually used to effectuate a time change in films. In his movies, present and past, reality and fantasy are deliberately fused together. Dream figures seem to be as palpable and as concrete as any of the ‘‘real’’ actors on screen. The audience learns to distinguish them through a series of narrative clues, changes in clothing, and the actors’ voices and facial expressions. This method places substantial demands upon the actors with whom Saura works closely. He has often used the same actors in several movies. Saura has also worked with the same producer and crew for most of his career, which helps explain the significant continuity of his films. Sometimes images or sequences from one movie recur in later ones. As Saura himself has said, ‘‘Every film is a consequence of the film before.’’ Every film is also a consequence of the particular political and social climate prevailing in Spain. With the death of Franco and the subsequent abolition of film censorship that resulted from restoration of democratic rule, Saura moved away from the complex, nonlinear narrative forms he had cultivated under Franco and began to make simpler, almost documentary-like movies. One of these, which dealt with juvenile delinquents in Madrid, was shot with nonprofessional actors from the slums of the capital (De prisa, de prisa). Two others are filmed versions of flamenco ballets that are based upon well￾known literary works (Bodas de sangre and Carmen). In these as in other movies which contain references to Spanish plays, poems, and paintings, Saura affirms his ties to Spanish cultural traditions and shows their relevance to the Spain of today. El amor brujo is the third of Saura’s ‘‘Spanish folk films,’’ following Bodas de sangre and Carmen. In it, he combines music, dance, and melodrama in telling the story of a pair of gypsies who have been promised to each other by their respective families; as their wedding approaches, each becomes involved in other romances. Despite an occasional foray into what for Saura is unusual territory—Dispara! is a clichéd, unconvincing psychological drama about a rape victim who murders her attackers—the filmmaker has continued creating highly political films which explore facets of recent Spanish history, and non-narrative cinematic essays which celebrate Spanish culture. In the former category is Ay, Carmela!, a pointed yet endearing, extremely entertaining farce in which Car￾men Maura has one of her best roles in a film not directed by Pedro Almodovar. She plays an entertainer who brings diversion to the partisans during the Spanish Civil War, and who ends up caught behind enemy lines with her husband and their assistant. The film works best as a comic reminiscence of what it means to be politically and morally correct, yet still be on the losing side of a conflict. Flamenco is a loving, exquisitely detailed ode to flamenco music, consisting of lively performances by an array of talented singers, dancers, and guitarists of all ages.

DIRECTORS, 4 EDITION SAUTET Other Films: The career of Claude Sautet was slow in getting underway, but by the 1970s he had virtually become the french cinemas official chronicler of bourgeois life. He had made his directing debut with a solidly constructed thriller, Classe tous risques, in 1960, but 1954 Touchez pas au Grisbi(Grisbi) a second film, L'Arme a gauche, did not follow until 1965 and was 1959 Les Yeux sans visages(Eyes without a Face)(Franju)(asst d) markedly less successful.

He had made his directing debut with a solidly constructed thriller, Classe tous risques, in 1960, but a second film, L’Arme à gauche, did not follow until 1965 and was markedly less successful. Despite numerous scriptwriting assign￾ments, his directing career did not really get underway until he completed Les Choses de la vie in 1969. This set the pattern for a decade of filmmaking. The core of any Sautet film is a fairly banal emotional problem—a man caught between two women in Les Choses de la vie or a married woman confronted with a former lover in César et Rosalie. Around this situation Sautet weaves a rich pattern of bourgeois life: concerns with home and family, with money and possessions, give these films their particular tone. This is a cinema of warm, convincingly depicted characters for whom Sautet clearly has great affection and more than a touch of complicity. Problems and motivations are always explicitly set out, for this is a style of psychological realism in which the individual, not the social, forms the focus of attention. The director’s style is a sober, classical one, built on the model of Hollywood narrative traditions: action, movement, vitality. Though his style can encompass such set pieces as the boxing match in Vincent, Francois, Paul . . . et les autres, Sautet is more concerned with the unfolding of a strong and involving narrative line. A key feature of all his work are the confrontation scenes which offer such excellent opportunities for the talented stars and solid character players who people his films. Sautet’s films from the mid-1970s to early 1980s—Mado, Une Histoire simple, and Une Mauvais Fils—are all characterized by a total assurance and a mastery of the medium. This mastery, however, is exercised within very precise limits—not in terms of the subject matter, which widens to take in the problems of affluence, women’s independence, and juvenile delinquency, but in the manner in which such issues of the moment are approached. Sautet’s classi￾cism of form and ability to communicate directly with his audience is not accompanied by the resonances of social criticism which charac￾terize the best North American cinema. Seeking to move his audience rather than enlighten it, Sautet uses powerful actors cast to type in carefully constructed roles, but any probing of the essential contradic￾tions is avoided by a style of direction that keeps rigidly to the surface of life, the given patterns of bourgeois social behaviour. His approach is therefore condemned to a certain schematism, particularly in the handling of dialogue scenes, but his work gets its sense of vitality from the vigor with which the group scenes—the meals and excursions—and the typical locations of café or railway station are handled. Sautet offers a facsimile of life, a reflection of current problems or issues, but contained within a form calculated not to trouble the spectator after he has left the cinema. This conformism may seem limiting to the contemporary critic, but it will offer future generations a rare insight into the manner in which the French middle classes liked to see themselves in the 1970s. In two of his most recent features, the popularly and critically well-received Un Coeur en Hiver (1992) and Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud (1995), Sautet continues to offer versions of French middle￾class bourgeois life in the 1990s. In keeping with Sautet’s thematic and stylistic terrain, Un Coeur and Nelly both focus on a small group of individuals as they undergo a set of personal and emotional

SAYLES DIRECTORS, 4th EDITION 868 situations. Again, while one senses a touch of Sautet’s complicity with the bourgeois world he represents, these films do not simply offer the conservative resolutions that characterize so many of the bourgeois Hollywood productions of the 1980s and 1990s. As we watch Un Coeur and Nelly, we proceed along the interior, emotional topographies of characters like the remote and ostensibly affectless Stephan in Un Coeur. The tension which builds throughout Un Coeur as a result of Stephan’s unwillingness and/or incapacity to love does not find its release, however, through the union of Stephan and Camille by the film’s end: Camille continues her relationship with Maxim, Stephan remains alone. As a result, Sautet powerfully suc￾ceeds in having us experience the frustration these characters feel, because Un Coeur resists consummating a formulaic relationship with its audience via a happy ending as Hollywood films are likely to do. Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud affects its audience in similar ways. Comparable to Un Coeur, Nelly’s presentation of the emotional firings and mis-firings between Nelly, Arnaud, Vincent, and Jerome draw the viewer into a narrative that resists uncomplicated closure; because of this, the world of Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud is more likely to resemble the reality its audience will encounter once the credits role and the lights go up. Derek Elley aptly comments in Variety that Sautet, in his films, ‘‘is more interested in the what-could-have￾happened than the what-actually-has.’’ Nelly, he concludes, ‘‘will delight those who don’t like their T’s crossed and I’s dotted.’’ While neither a revolutionary cinema nor one which simply gives way to Hollywood narrative conventions, Claude Sautet’s films endure as poignant and insightful tales depicting the often beguiling world of human affairs. —Roy Armes, updated by Kevin J.
