Viewers interested in modern cinema often explore Imagen de la ciudad because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Tusquets frames this unpublished film in a decisive cultural moment: years before the dictator's death, when "suguing things began to happen." Image of the city is a creation made together with Bofill to be presented at the Tarragona Architecture Congress (May 1967). During filming on the streets of Barcelona, Ricardo was filming in Super-8 while Oscar was driving a convertible. The interiors, recorded in the studio of photographer Oriol Maspons, show Serena and Beatriz dancing. It is a modest but casual walk in which the sinuous shapes of the facades of the Barcelona of Cerdà are presented in relation to the female body. A dialogue is established between the modernist tradition, the symbols of pop culture and the powerful visual language of the Archigram group.
