Kargus is a 1981 Spanish drama film written and directed by Juan Miñón and Miguel Ángel Trujillo, at their feature film debut.[1]
The film was entered into the main competition at the 38th edition of the Venice Film Festival.[2]
A series of vignettes that begin at the Civil War and end at the Spanish Economic Miracle is interwoven with 2 separate abstractions
In vignete 1 The train which is apparently going to Vizcaya? offers a possible escape route (to France?) In vignette 2 We see an escape from the Oppressive Social Services that want the change a family (from being hunter gatherers) to fit back into the state sponsored social order. Vignette 3 Focuses on a schoolroom in the 1950s and suggests that one can learn more from daydreaming than following the dry logic of the schoolmaster Vignette 4 at a Rapid Driving School perhaps makes fun of a girl who only looks at the inside of a vehicle and gets a rude awakening when she glimpse the outside of the car Vignete 5 deals with graffiti removal where the technicians have to think long and loud about the political meanings to choose which graffiti they will remove and which they will allow.
