LOS GOLFOS

Special Features: New 4K Restoration

[THE DELINQUENTS]
Suffering curtailed distribution by Francoist censorship in the ‘60s, the defiant debut feature by Carlos Saura (CRÍA CUERVOS, PEPPERMINT FRAPPÉ) broke with tradition in Spain by filming in the streets and utilizing documentary techniques much like the Italian neorealist classics by which it was inspired. A group of poor youths tear around Madrid, pulling scams and committing petty crimes. As one of their gang prepares to perform in a serious bullfighting competition, they plan a heist that will raise the money to finance his entry. When LOS GOLFOS was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Saura and producer Pere Portabella (VIRIDIANIA) were announced as powerful new forces in Spanish cinema.
