Chaplin later occasionally co-wrote scripts for and starred in several later Saura films—for these, receiving her greatest critical success—such as "Ana and the Wolves" (1973), "Cría Cuervos" (1976), "Elisa, vida mía" (1977) and "Mamá cumple cien años" (1979). "Cría Cuervos" won the Special Jury Prize Award at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival. Critic Vincent Canby praised Chaplin's "superb" performance.
