unprecedented, curious, provocative and voracious.
Suddenly, the creator of a new language for Spanish cinematography when the whole world was consumed by new waves, the man who paralyzed the Cannes Festival in the heat of May 1968 (in truth, it was the other way around: the frenzy was the that interrupted the projection of his work), the creator of new ways of combining popular music with the image, the shadow photographer and even the occasional painter (all of which is Saura) surprised with the insane and happy proposal of matching art of the Paleolithic with urban graffiti, the painters of Altamira with Barceló, the first settler of the darkness of a cave with Suso33.
Fascinating.
Well, all those '

' (it is neither fair nor modest to speak of him in the singular) will receive
the so-called Goya of Honor on February 11.
In reality, obviously, it is not so much an award that the Spanish Film Academy awards as it receives.
It is Saura who rewards the Goya with his mere presence.
It is so.
It will be strictly his third Goya after those achieved as director and co-writer with Rafael Azcona for
¡Ay, Carmela!
in 1991.
