Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to analyze three different films to determine the circumstances in which women lived during Francoism, with a special emphasis on their upbringing, education, and the ethical values they were taught throughout their lives. One of the films that will be analyzed in this paper is La Raza (1942) – a film whose script was written by, the dictator himself, Francisco Franco. The other two films in focus were directed by famous Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel – Tristana (1970) y Viridiana (1961). By analysing and comparing the narratives of these films, the goal is to draw attention to the way a film can be used as a tool for propaganda and the indoctrination of women but, reversely, also as a powerful form of art that can help raise awareness of the traps of the patriarchy in order to fight back against it.
