Spanish films and complex opinions (avoiding 'me gusta')

Spanish films and complex opinions (avoiding 'me gusta')

(1)
Some series I had to translate literally and some to their actual translation. There’s a starter to get them thinking about film titles and generally capture their imagination and then an introduction to film styles and a recap of opinions like ‘me gusta’. Final task is a ‘busca alguien que’ style task but you could number them and play ladrones a la Conti.

Lorca: Su teatro, el cine ruso/teatro de masas y La Barraca (pre-La Casa de Bernarda Alba reading)

This took a while, I’ve compiled lots of interviews into one big interview. I have edited only one or two things so they flow better. This is a pre-La Casa activity so students can get to know the man who went on to be murdered by the Nationalist regime. There’s a focus on La Barraca, russian cinema and propaganda and it’s probably worth discussing after why the nationalist regime would have found Lorca’s love for russian cinema for the masses an issue.
