About That Is the Dawn
A generous doctor is aghast that the population of a small island is being oppressed and mistreated, but is seemingly unable to do anything about it, until the arrival of a young woman and the death of one of his friends prompts him into action.
Directed by Luis Buñuel, That Is the Dawn leans on a strong ensemble — Georges Marchal, Lucia Bosè, Julien Bertheau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1956.
