In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore Guillermo del Toro's impactful film The Devil's Backbone, released in 2001, with Olivia from "You Have Been Watching Films." Our conversation highlights the film's intricate narrative and its blend of childhood innocence within the harrowing context of the Spanish Civil War. We examine character dynamics in the orphanage, reflecting on the themes of unity and resistance against oppression, while discussing the symbolic role of ghosts and the lingering effects of war on childhood. As we dissect the film's rich imagery and underlying messages, we emphasize the glimmers of hope and resilience present in the children's journey. We encourage both new and returning viewers to experience this essential work within del Toro's filmography, appreciating its quiet yet profound storytelling.
