Interesting facts

Tasio is a 1984 Spanish drama film directed by Montxo Armendáriz, in his full-length debut. It stars Garikoitz Mendigutxia, Isidro José Solano and Patxi Bisquert as the titular character, a charcoal burner and poacher, at different stages of his life. The film became a staple of Basque cinema.

Production

Inspired by the real story of Anastasio Ochoa Ruiz, "Tasio" (1916–1989), the screenplay was penned by Montxo Armendáriz alongside Marisa Ibarra. An Elías Querejeta PC production, the film was fully shot in Spanish rather than Basque. This decision stirred criticism among some Basque milieus. Filming locations included the Urbasa range in Navarre.
