CRIA CUERVOS

Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1976 Carlos Saura Allegorical Drama CRIA CUERVOS (RAISE RAVENS) starring Geraldine Chaplin, Hector Alterio, Ana Torrent, Monica Randall, Mirta Miller, Conchi Perez, Florinda Chico, Maite Sanchez, Josefina Diaz, German Cobos and Hector Alterio.

Shot while General Franco was on his deathbed, the film melds the personal and the political in a portrait of the legacy of fascism and its effects on a middle-class family (the title derives from the Spanish proverb: “Raise ravens and they’ll peck out your eyes”). Ana Torrent (the dark-eyed beauty from The Spirit of the Beehive) portrays the disturbed eight-year-old Ana, living in Madrid with her two sisters and mourning the death of her mother, whom she conjures as a ghost (an ethereal Geraldine Chaplin). Seamlessly shifting between fantasy and reality, the film subtly evokes both the complex feelings of childhood and the struggles of a nation emerging from the shadows.

The poster is in very good unfolded (rolled) condition.
