El extraño viaje (Strange Voyage), 1964. Directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez
Fernando Fernán Gómez (1921-2007) is considered one of the greatest and most prolific figures in Spanish cinema.
Drawing inspiration from a real-life murder mystery, El extraño viaje centers on three unmarried siblings who live together in a small town: the domineering Ignacia and the childlike Paquita and Venancio. Hearing strange noises on a stormy Saturday night, the frightened Paquita wakes her brother and seeks out her sister, who seems to be hiding someone in her bedroom. The mystery that unfolds comes to a climax with a dreadful discovery that shocks the entire town.
Suppressed by censors during the Francoist regime, El extraño viaje is now regarded as one of the greatest films of the era. Filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar cited it as one of thirteen Spanish movies that inspired his own career.
