Death of subversive Berlanga

A belated ode to the remarkable director, Luis Garcia Berlanga, who died on the 13 November at the ripe age of 89 and who was best known for his humorous films, including Placido ( 1961) which was nominated for an Oscar for best- foreign language film. It must have been a fascinating process when trying to work within Franco's era whilst constantly and surreptitiously undermining it.
