Los pazos de Ulloa
Description
This classic production is based on Emilia Pardo Bazan's two most famous novels: Los pazos de Ulloa and its sequel, La madre naturaleza. Straddling the border between Naturalism and Realism, these works illustrate the decay of feudalism in 19th-century Galicia, as depictions of the beautiful countryside are contrasted with the spreading decadence of the humans inhabiting it. Sordid episodes of drunkenness, adultery, and incest are balanced by the author's engaging narrative style, skillful characterization, and insightful social commentary. An RTVE production.
