Spain () or the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España is a country located mostly in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Returning with the firm desire to be a film director, he tried to enter the School of Cinema in Madrid but since he never graduated from high school he could not apply. Madrid (pronounced in English in Spanish and colloquially in Spain) is the Capital and largest city of Spain. He moved to Barcelona and completely self-taught, Aranda found the way to direct his first feature film. Vicente Aranda is married to Teresa Font, his second wife, editor of his movies since the mid 80s; they have two daughters.
Aranda started directing films late in life, at almost forty and did not reach international success until his 60s, nevertheless, he has had a long and prolific career making twenty-five films in more than forty years as director. He made his directorial debut with the low- budget Brillante Porvenir (1964) (Brilliant Future), co directing with screenwriter Román Gubern. This social realistic film was cut by censors and was received coldly by public and critics. His second film, Fata Morgana (1965), an unusual work in Spanish Cinema, is an experimental film, based on a script written with Gonzalo Suárez and is inscribed in the Barcelona School of Film, an avant garde movement which sought creative renovation of Spanish films. Fata Morgana (also known as Left-Handed Fate) is a 1965 Spanish drama directed by veteran filmmaker Vicente Aranda The art of motion-picture making within the nation of Spain or by Spanish filmmakers Gonzalo Suárez Morilla ( July 30, 1934, Oviedo) is a Spanish Writer, Screenwriter and Film director. Avant-garde (avɑ̃gaʁd in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard
Since his first features were not widely seen, Aranda followed up with two commercial films with fantastic and erotic overtones: Las Crueles (1969) (The Exquisite Cadaver) and La Novia Ensangrentada (1972) (The Blood Spattered Bride), both have reached cult movies status. La Novia Ensangrentada ( English: The Blood Spattered Bride) is a 1972 Spanish horror Film written and directed Aranda started to employ the codes of melodrama with: Clara es el Precio (1974) (Clara is the Price), an offbeat mix of melodrama, parody and surreal comedy. Clara es el precio ( English: Clara is the Price) is a 1975 Spanish film directed by Vicente Aranda.
With the fall of Francos’s regime, the Catalan director was finally able to shoot more daring films like: Cambio de Sexo (1976) (Change of Sex), skillfully tackling the subject of Transexuality. Cambio de Sexo ( English: Change of Sex) is a 1976 Spanish film written and directed by Vicente Aranda. This film was the beginning of a long collaboration with Victoria Abril, over the next three decades director and star would be paired in more than ten films that would include major triumphs for both. Victoria Abril (born Victoria Merida Rojas July 4, 1959) is a highly respected Spanish film actress. Made in the period called the transition, Cambio de Sexo is a salient example of the use of transsexualism to reflect social change. Cambio de Sexo ( English: Change of Sex) is a 1976 Spanish film written and directed by Vicente Aranda. The film dramatizes the development of the destape – the period in the late 1970s and early 1980s characterized by a much more open portrayal of sex in the press, literature and film.
The film recounts the story of a young effeminate boy played by Victoria Abril, who lives in the outskirts of Barcelona and escapes to the city to explore his desire to become a woman. The character of the young man with a sex identity problem is an embodiment of the changes confronted by the two sides of Spain with their opposites extremes of uncompromising orthodoxy and unrestrained anarchy. Cambio de Sexo allured audiences with its controversial theme, a real novelty, and was released to critical acclaim. Cambio de Sexo ( English: Change of Sex) is a 1976 Spanish film written and directed by Vicente Aranda.
Aranda’s films after democracy was installed in Spain were politically charged with the aftereffects of Franco's regime as in: La Muchacha de las Bragas de Oro (1980) (Girl with the Golden Panties), an adaptation of the novel by Juan Marsé; in which a Falangist character accommodates himself to the new democratic realities. La Muchacha de las Bragas de Oro ( English: Girl with the Golden Panties) is a 1980 Spanish Film directed by Vicente Aranda.

Aranda has a very special relationship with literature and a great number of his movies are based on literary works. He has been seen as a director who specializes in adaptations from short narratives to novels, including even biographies. Nevertheless for Aranda, adapting a literary work does not involve complications or absurd problems of faithfulness, or lack of the same, to the original text. For him the novel is a raw material with which to create new forms: “ As for adaptations, I feel very comfortable doing them. I don’t have problem with authorship. I don’t think I am more of an author if I write a screenplay of something I’ve read on the news papers or seen on the street that if I take a novel and make a movie based on its contents”.
Asesinato en el Comité Central (1982) (Murder in the Central Committee), based on the adventures of detective Pepe Carvalho created by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán regarded as a failure in matching the book that inspired it, is one of his less interesting films.

Fanny Pelopaja (1984), according to the novel by Andreu Martín is a film noir, that depicts a violent love hate relationship between a delinquent woman and the corrupt police officer she wants to get even with. Fanny Pelopaja ( English: Fanny Strawhair) (aka Á coups de Crosse) is a 1984 film co-production between Spain and Although this film failed to find an audience when first released since then has become one of Aranda best regarded works.
Some of Vicente Aranda films present real events, things that happens on the street but that have had the appearance of the exceptional occurrences, where passion, toughness, and violence manage to acquire a tone of unreality that is almost literary as in: El Crimen del Capitán Sánchez (1984) (Captain Sánchez's Crime) that was made for Spanish television, a story in which incest jealousy and death mix in Spain of beginnings of the twenty century, and is the first of four film in which Aranda would recreate a real murder story driven by passionate love.

One of Aranda’s most successful adaptation was the memoirs of the infamous Spanish delinquent Eleuterio Sánchez, El Lute, that the director made in an extremely popular two- part biopic: El Lute: camina o revienta (1987) (El Lute, Run for Your Life), and El Lute II, mañana seré libre (1988) (El Lute Tomorrow I’ll be Free).

Eleuterio Sánchez (born 1942) known as " El Lute " was a legendary Spanish outlaw now a writer El Lute, after an early nomadic period of his life, moves to Madrid slums outskirts, become involved in a burglary and murder, is tortured and condemn to life in prison. He becomes the target of obsessive control and punishment out of all proportion to his original petty crimes. Aranda’s hybrid combination of period drama, thriller and social realism reveals how the criminal career of this petty thief was manipulated and exploited by the authorities as a diversionary tactic at the time of political unrest. The first film has a strong realistic and political tone; the second part has a folkloric approach adopting a more pronounced thriller profile. Both films can be seen as a resounding critique of Franco regime and its brutal treatment of an oppressed minority. The story of a powerful individual response to injustice and the memory of public support to El Lute cause made this film a great success at the box office.
