Ángel Fernández Santos(1934-2004)

Without any doubt, the best film-critic in Spain up to the present. His superbly written and objective articles in "El País" newspaper will go down as models of style and content. He was also responsible for the story and dialogues in the memorable film "El Espíritu de la Colmena" - but it his exquisite use of language in his articles which he will be most remembered for.
