It proposes a new approach to the cinema of Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, until now studied from political perspectives or, above all, literary and mythological with categories such as magic, fabulation, heroic figures, etc. A hermeneutics of that filmography is made from sacred forms established by the phenomenology of religions that stand out particularly in the films Camada negra, El corazón del bosque, Demonios en el jardín, La mitad del cielo and Todos estamos invitados: the forest and the sacred tree, the archetype of the nurturing Mother and the ritual of food. This allows us to consider how, in a medium of just one hundred years, such as cinema, there are also hierophanies, archetypes and rituals of the millennial history of religions. Contrast this substrate of pagan religiosity with telluric roots and links with agrarian deities with contemporary Spanish Catholicism.
