Great review with some relevant history included in it.
This is indeed an amazing movie and a Spanish classic.
Now if I had to pick another 1970s favorite ( starring the same wonderful young actress ), it would be Victor Erice's Spirit of the Beehive. Love that one!

It is a great film with the particularity that Victor Erice made only two feature films in his entire career as a director. The remaining one is ElmSur at a distance of 10 years.
Actually, I don't know which one to choose from that period of Spanish cinema. El Crimen de Cuenca is impressive.
The films of Luis Buñuel and Pedro Almodóvar are unforgettable. They contain a social criticism rarely seen.
Greetings and thanks for commenting @vincentnijman.
El Sur was pretty good though but didn't make a lasting impact on me.
Buñuel sure made some great stuff and Almodovar is an auteur of whom I love some films but don't really like a lot of others.
I will dig into my watch list one of these days and see with what other Spanish classics I can come up with ( I used to study film in Uni - half a life time ago - and probably watched over 5000 movies so I'll need to do some digging )
