I would agree with whoever left the previous comment. This article seems more like a defense of Erice against critics than a neutral recording of factual information. The POV needs to be altered. Bankuroku 00:30, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Yore to ready to call him a 'master'. Why do we need such stridant value-judgments in an ensiclopaedia artical?

Obviously, this text has been copied from somewhere else. Let's rework it a bit and it will do. Miguel Andrade 03:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article.-- Jreferee 18:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC) (I teach cinema in new york State) We do not need to call Erice a Master - though general consensus places him in very high esteem. the following two articles from the Guardian can shed some light on current critical opinion, however. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/01/spain_uncensored_bfi.html and http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/film/2007/10/pompidou_postcards_from_cinemas_cutting_edge.html In Spain he is placed at the top of the pantheon, most especially for 'Beehive' which opened the doors for a subtle regime critique during Franco's last years, while youn ger directors (such as Mexico's Guillermo del Toro) reference Erice's work, notably in 'Pan's Labyrinth' which bears remarkable similarity to 'Beehive'.

El Sur ran into financing problems - not a fault of the producer Querejeta, but a sudden volte face by the Spanish film commission, who did not make good on a promised subvention. Erice (and Querejeta?) decided to make only the first half of their planned film. the second part never got made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.34.192 (talk) 11:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
