Introducción
El espinazo del diablo (The Devil's Spine)
The Devil's Backbone Guillermo del Toro, 2001, Mexico, Spain, 106', Original version with French subtitles. 1930s, Spain. A 12-year-old orphan is sent to a Catholic boarding school. Greeted coldly by his classmates, he encounters the ghost of a student who died under strange circumstances... Beneath its veneer of a Gothic tale and coming-of-age story, *The Devil’s Backbone* paints a chilling portrait of the Spanish Civil War, a theme that Guillermo del Toro would explore again in 2006 in the phantasmagorical *Pan’s Labyrinth*. “The film’s scariest scene has nothing fantastical about it. It is simply terrifying in its realism. Volunteers from the International Brigades are lined up against a wall and then shot in the head. Here, the true horror comes from the living” (Samuel Blumenfeld, Le Monde, 2002). Admission: 10.-
