Hungarian documentarian Peter Forgás used the remarkable home movies of two men from opposite sides of the Spanish Civil War—a Catalan industrialist and a student from Madrid—to weave an intimate and insightful composite portrait of the conflict. Forgács gives the amateur filmmakers’ footage new life in an expertly crafted montage of image and voice-over quotations from other participants in the war to create an alternate narrative from the romanticized fictions that continue to prevail.
