The international relevance in Berlanga's cinema

Abstract

Luis García Berlanga is perhaps the most important Spanish film director who has given. However it is not as well known internationally as he deserves. His international accolade begins in 1953 in the Cannes Film Festival, where he won two awards with his brilliant film "Bienvenido Mister Marshall" (1952). Between that year and 1981 the director participates repeatedly in the top film festivals in the world: Cannes, Venice, Berlin, and one of his best films, "Plácido" (1961), nominated for an Oscar. This article is to remind the international career of filmmaker since hatching with Bienvenido Mister Marshall, including his participation in international co-productions and their relationship to foreign technicians and actors, as in some of his best films as "Calabuch" (1956), "Los jueves milagro" (1957), "La muerte y el leñador" (1962), "El verdugo" (1963), "La boutique" (1967) and "Tamaño natural – Life size" (1974).
