Anyone who caught Berlanga's previous film in the series, The Executioner, will not be surprised to discover that The National Shotgun is an unrelentingly grotesque yet utterly surreal work of art. The film is the first in a vitriolic "national” trilogy to be later followed by The National Heritage and National III. The films explore the legitimacy of the Franco dictatorship that came to an end in 1975, and also whether the era really did come to a close given that the state of mind that a...ccepts and recognises dictatorship does not change from one day to the next. Against this background, Berlanga attempts to reveal the many ways in which power, aristocracy, the church and 'business as usual' are interconnected.
This series is supported by the Cervantes Institute and the Spanish Embassy.
