Biography
He studied architecture in Barcelona and Paris, and his knowledge of space was used in his film work: "El sexto sentido" (1929) and "Lo más español" or "Al Hollywood madrileño" (1928). Meanwhile, the satire about a miraculous Donostian doctor, "Las maravillosas cura del doctor Asuero", was banned before its premiere by the government of Primo de Rivera. In 1935 he began filming La hija de Juan Simón, produced by Luis Buñuel, but his differences frustrated the project. Already in exile he produced the documentary Guernika, about the Spanish Civil War, which earned him his death sentence by the Franco regime and the subsequent expulsion from French territory.
