Having only directed a bunch of films, among which "El hombre que supo a mar" or "Extramuros", at his age of 87 Picazo still waits for a new chance to keep on directing films Miguel Picazo's first film Aunt Tula (1964) started the "Nuevo Cine Español", new Spanish cinema movement of the 1960s and placed him amongst the masters of Spanish film industry. Despite his success in public and critic, Picazo had to struggle for his next films and his career suffered the challenges of Spanish society and shifting from dictatorship to democracy, with a weak film industry that hardly took advantage of his talent.
