Some random links...

A BFI article about the The Butterfly's Tongue - it criticises the realism of the film, particularly surrounding the region of Galicia, where the film it set. It also makes links to The Spirit of the Beehive and Spanish culture during the Civil War. It's actually quite scathing about the film, which surprised me a bit.

This is from the Socialist Review, so it gives a different angle on the cinema of the Spanish Civil War. It gives a good (although politically motivated) background to the war, as well as making brief mentions of The Butterfly's Tongue and Land And Freedom.
