“Arraianos is Enciso’s quietly evocative portrait of the inhabitants of A raia. Cinematic descriptions of seemingly pre-modern ways of life, episodes of the everyday—cutting wood and tending to livestock—, are interspersed with excerpts from O bosque, a play from the 1960s by Galician dramatist Jenaro Marinhas del Valle, in which villagers recite snippets of existentialist dialogue. Mixing Flaherty with Straub and Huillet, this combination of documentary and ritual highlights the film’s roots in another strain of contemporary filmmaking often found in Spain and Portugal—the poetic intertwining of fact and fiction in the work of Pedro Costa, José Luis Guerin or António Reis and Margarida Cordeiro. The film’s fiery climax leads to an epilogue bathed in autumnal light, which may be announcing nothing less than the end of Arraianos itself and, with it, a vestige of the archaic.” - Harvard Film Archive
