    Saw the film when it came out, even twice, as I did at that time with films I liked/are important. Since then, I want/ed to watch it again, and didn’t have a possibility,; so, yes, this is a wonderdul and moving piece of life, a magnificent father-daughter relation. And both actors! great!

    If I remember rightly this film was the first time I heard Eric Satie’s haunting Gnosciennes. Sometime back in the 70’s. I thought the acting was excellent and the film a 5 star effort of Carlos Saura. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
