Ken Loach’s brave anti-Stalinlist critique of the Spanish Civil War examines the internal struggles and wrenching contradictions that devastated the Republican cause. Loosely inspired by George Orwell’s autobiographical account of the conflict, Homage to Catalonia,Loach’s film follows the gradual awakening of an idealistic British Communist to the cruel ironies of the fight against fascism.
