San Fran Report: Obaba Review
Posted by Todd Brown at 8:53pm.
Posted in Film & DVD Reviews , Drama, Continental Europe & Russia, San Francisco 2006.
Michael Guillen reports ...
As Julio Cortazar is one of my favorite South American writers, Antonio Machado remains my favorite Spanish poet. One of my favorite poems of his reads:
The eye you see is not
An eye because you see it.
It is eye because it sees you.
In gist, this is the lesson any documentarian must learn when they turn their camera onto the world, the selfsame lesson that Lourdes (Bárbara Lennie) has to learn, arriving in the small Basque hill town of Obaba equipped with a videocamera, intending to satisfy a school video assignment by recording the history of this small community. And Lourdes learns her lesson: you can’t catch fish without getting wet.
