Španielsky režisér Carlos Saura sa 4. januára 2017 dožíva 85 rokov. Aj keď na poli hraného filmu začínal s neorealistickými Delikventmi (1960), postupne, inšpirovaný surrealizmom Luisa Buñuela, vkladal viac a viac do svojich filmov metafory a symbolizmus, aby sa vyhol dobovej cenzúre. Jeho filmy prešli vývojom a stali sa sofistikovaným vyjadrením času a miesta, prelínaním fantázie a reality, prítomnosti s minulosti. Saurove filmy sú politickými alegóriami, kritikou vtedajšieho režimu či analýzou psychologických dopadov represívnej spoločnosti. Po definitívnom páde Francovho režimu Saura ako keby stratil svojho „arcinepriateľa“ a obrátil sa k fúzii hudby a hraného filmu (tzv. flamenco trilógia). Dnes je aj vo svojom úctyhodnom veku stále aktívnym režisérom, nakrúca najmä hudobné dokumenty.
