Linda Ehrlich introduces
Mexico, Spain | 1961 | Luis Buñuel
One of Buñuel’s greatest films tells of a beautiful and idealistic young nun whose efforts to help the poor are met with selfishness, ingratitude, ridicule, and cruelty. Buñuel’s first movie made in his native Spain in 29 years was immediately banned there. The film will be introduced by Linda Ehrlich, associate professor of modern languages and film studies at Case Western Reserve University, who edited the memoir of Buñuel’s eldest son and fellow film director Juan Luis Buñuel, recently published as Good Films, Cheap Wine, Few Friends: A Memoir (Shika Press, 2014). The younger Buñuel worked as an assistant on Viridiana.
Subtitles. 35mm. 90 min.
