Abstract
The film Caudillo (B. M. Patino, 1974) builds -from a continuous rhetorical collision between the two factions- an anti-portrait of Franco and a chronicle of the ideological and military aspects of the Spanish Civil War. The director deconstructs the icon created along forty years of official images, political and historical symbols, social rices and some ideological and informative manipulation. Caudillo reutilizes archive footage -national and republican- in order to present a historical re-reading, far away from the vision of the official Francoist media.
