Guernica is a hard-knuckled piece of work. Arrabal is quite deliberate in his use of shock, both dramatic and historical. Go to Full Review

07/23/2017 Fernando Arrabal continues his depiction of the Spanish Civil War; much more cohesive than his 1971 film Viva La Muerte but still just as graphic and violent. See more 08/19/2010 A bit too weird and propagandic for me. See more 04/07/2009 this movie is fucking awesome crazy goodtime, and if you disagree then you are retarded and i hate you See more 10/31/2008 A combination of Luis Bunuel's absurdity and his attack on the usual class and organized religion enemies, with Alejandro Jodorowsky's freakish subversive imageries. Within the Spanish Civil War setting, the violence is balanced with a love story that is then linked to hope amidst the destruction. See more 10/10/2008 This is the best film out of the three surreal films by Fernando Arrabal it is well made and a good yet disturbing watch. See more 09/28/2008 I love Arrabal's style. It's so captivating. You'll find scenes in his films that are shocking, yet at the same time so poetic, and his use of music fits so well. See more Read all reviews
