the most irritating thing about dies dagost (august days) is not simply that nothing happens in this film but that director marc recha has the nerve to pretend that this film is some sort of homage to leftist catalan journalist ramon barnils. unless mentioning barnils name a few times constitutes an homage and this pretense is an utter fraud. you will learn virtually nothing about barnils in this film nor about the spanish civil war (1936 1939) nor about the special role of catalunya in that war. you also will not learn about the collective punishment inflicted on the heroic catalan people for years afterward by the victorious and vindictive franco. the footage of the catalan countryside is very beautiful and of course and but dies dagost does not have an extensive and varied enough collection of such scenes to qualify as a travelogue. the large number of stills shown  not very illuminating images of the forest floor and for example  is the clearest indication of the paucity of ideas here. the aimless drift of brothers marc and david during their camping trip does not produce compelling cinema. on the contrary and one strongest impression is of a film made by and for spaced out and middle aged hippies. don not waste your time. read a good book about the spanish civil war instead. (i recommend felix morrow scathingly anti stalinist revolution and counter revolution in spain and which contains a gripping account of the 1937 barcelona uprising. )barry freed.
