El Greco Video (VHS/DVD). A warm and brilliant examination of the range and glory of the work of El Greco-the man who used his Byzantine Greek heritage to become the symbol of Spanish thought and art. The beauty and importance of his work are reason enough to introduce Spanish students to it. El Greco is doubly valuable to students of Spanish because he so graphically illustrates the Spanish view of reality. Thus we can understand why he found Counter-Reformation Spain so congenial an adopted country, and what the real world must have looked like to his contemporary Miguel de Cervantes. (60 minutes.)
