Robert Hessens & Alain Resnais – Guernica (1951)

Quote:
On April 27, 1937, in the midst of a grueling and increasingly brutal Spanish Civil War, the
ancient Basque town of Guernica was subjected to an extended duration bombardment
campaign by German forces in an unrelenting aerial campaign designed to demoralize the
collective psyche of the Basque nation and to also show camaraderie (and military
alliance) with the nationalists under Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Composed of a series of fractured, compartmentalized images that traces the evolution
of the paintings and sculptures of cubist artist Pablo Picasso from 1906 to 1937 (leading
to his masterwork Guernica) set against an evocative narrative ode written by French
lyrical poet Paul Éluard and recited in an off-screen performance reading by Jacques
Pruvost and María Casarès, Guernica is a thoughtful and passionate meditation on
barbarism, warfare, and human resilience.
