Join us for the fall series of Movies with the Meadows, a collaboration of the Meadows Museum and DIFF Dallas International Film Festival. This fall, we’ll present three outstanding works by Carlos Saura (1932–2023), one of Spain’s most celebrated and prolific directors.
¡Ay Carmela! (Oh, Carmela!), 1990
Synopsis: During the Spanish Civil War, a traveling vaudeville troupe entertains the Republican Army with a small cabaret show. Following the show, they fall into the hands of the fascist Nationalists as they travel to Valencia. The only way for the troupe to save their lives is to perform for a group of Nationalist soldiers, which clashes with the entertainers’ morals and ideology. “¡Ay Carmela!” swept thirteen categories at the 5th Goya Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. It was also selected as the Spanish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 63rd Academy Awards.
Admission: $5; free for members at the Goya/Individual level and up and SMU students
