Vicente Aranda: goodbye to a provocative filmmaker – lanacion.com (Argentina)

The provocation and success were a single thing to Vicente Aranda, the renowned Spanish director, who died at age 88 at his home in Madrid. He turned most of his work around sex, from which explored the rest of his obsessions: the subjugation and cruelty, passion, literature and history. Its successful titles, which were not few, were always received with greater kindness and curiosity by the public that criticism.

All he did Aranda always was exposed to the debate, except for its renowned aesthetic sense and an innate talent for directing actresses. He gathered Victoria Abril (one of his favorite performers) and Maribel Verdu (Aranda always recognized as its discoverer) in Lovers , his first great success, perfect synthesis of thematic hobbies. Later he leaned against Ana Belen ( The Turkish passion ), Pilar Lopez de Ayala ( Juana la loca ) and Paz Vega ( Carmen , together Leonardo Sbaraglia). Between them and the manager there was love and hate: admired for their talent and rejected his blood and dismissive, near the temperament abuse in some cases. Something lived the writer Juan Marse (who adapted Aranda The girl panties gold , If They Tell You I Fell and The Bilingual Lover ).

He was born in Barcelona, ​​but had a visceral rejection of Catalan nationalism. Maybe that’s why his best works were explorations of the Spanish soul from real events: the two films on the Lute, a famous thief and fugitive from the end of Francoism, and Libertarian , a large portrait of a group of anarchist women in the Civil War. .
