Fascinating, deeply flawed, perhaps delusional

That an entire culture, over multiple generations is both so poorly informed, so irresolute, so empty of any interest in their past is tragically and graphically underscored here. The clarity and technical drama of the photos is undercut at every frame by the denial, the politite protests that they really want to know, it all seems a bit of a farce to make money and gain a fleeting, nostaligic but almost entirey false view of the depths to wish Spanish culture is broken, divided and knows nothing about itself. Interesting, even fascinating bt does not seem legit. We see people excited to be doing something. At best they are rescuing photographs with an almost non-existant context. Absolutely, the photographs themselves are great. I muted the sound track.
