Details
At first a pro-aristocracy Carlist and later a communist with anarchist leanings, Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan ran the political gamut from right to left. In this program, documentary material and dramatizations are blended to provide an account of a major Spanish novelist and playwright-whose esperpentos such as Tirano Banderas and Los Cuernos de Don Friolera prefigured the theater of the absurd-within the context of his nation's political turmoil. An RTVE production. (Spanish, 56 minutes)
