Max Aub's 'Sierra de Teruel' Reconsidered
In 1958, writer Max Aub rewatched his film 'Sierra de Teruel' and found it 'different from the one we made,' more 'hieratic, still.' He attributed this change to time and history nourishing artworks, noting that 'men alone never know exactly what we do.' However, he failed to notice cuts made to the film since 1939, and that credits were missing names of set designer Vicente Petit, actor Pedro Codina (whose voice Aub dubbed), and a former star of Barcelona's Paralelo district.
