The Dark Night / La noche oscura Series: Commitment and Grace: The Films of Carlos Saura [Apr. 17 - May 3 2007] Director: Carlos Saura, Country: Spain, Release: 1989, Runtime: 93 The 16th century. Philip II is on the throne and Spain is the greatest power in the world. In Toledo, the superiors of the Carmelite Order lock one of their friars, Juan de Yepes, in a basement dungeon. His crime? Advocating reforms that would return the order back to the simple, austere ways of its origins. Juan de Yepes continues to compose the ecstatic, mystical poetry that would one day make him one of the era's best-loved Spanish poets, St. John of the Cross. Saura's journey into the Spanish past is less an attempt to reconstruct a moment of history than a means of understanding one of that moment's most distinct voices. Juan, with his distrust of ecclesiastical hierarchy and privilege, is for Saura an example of a powerful independent spirit fighting against entrenched authority––and thus a forerunner of the modern age.
