Ociel del Toa
Nicolás Guillén Landrián, 1965, CU, 16mm, 16'
In Ociel del Toa Landrián depicts with a subtle charm, nearly without commentary, what he experienced while living with the farmers: the preparation of food, the birth of a child, a funeral procession, hairdressing. Following a young boy, Ociel, while working on the river, going to a cockfight, to a socialist education program, or for a dance. Outlining the everyday as it is passing by in a balanced, flirtatiously Renoirian manner, always aware of the physical impact images have. (Elke Marhöfer)
