Carlos Saura
Ranked ListStill not ready, but I like to have a plan. Here's what I know about Carlos Saura.
1. I think of him as primarily a director of dance films, though I see now that covers less than half of his output. Like Scorsese gangster films, it's a considerable amount but far from his only passion.
2. I'm just now seeing he worked a lot with actress Geraldine Chaplin. 13 titles according to IMDB and Wikipedia lists her as a "partner", though Saura also had 3 marriages.
3. MartinTeller is the biggest Saura fan I know. I never heard of Saura until Martin joined the forum, which means this could easily be a marathon of disappointment, though with the two dance films I've watched I at least like them and see what makes them unique.
4. Martin hasn't seen my starting point
The Hunt (1966), which I find curious because with every list I've checked, it's a Top 5 pick.
