El Sur (1983) - Victor Erice 

I should probably stop watching foreign movies without subtitles. The second film from Erice might not be as enjoyable as his first, but I found it much more subtle and haunting than his follow up. So the middle film is essentially in between in every way. I couldn't find a great deal written about the film, and the review I read from Senses of Cinema did little but just say it was wonderful without offering much reasoning behind the aesthetic judgment.
