Francisco Rabal

17 films

Paul Julian Smith introduces Francisco Rabal with a span of career: the fresh-faced young gentleman of Bunuel's Viridiana has long since become a grizzled veteran, and in Goya in Bordeaux his crown of white hair is lit from behind like a halo. He plays the dying genius, on Smith's account, with an incomparable sadness, and even ventures a few dangerously dignified steps of dance.
