Pre-film Talk on Friday!
LA ACADEMIA DE LAS MUSAS
Spain
| 2015 | José Luis Guerín
The enchanting new film from the director of 2007’s exquisite, evanescent In the City of Sylvia is another meditation on art, beauty, women, and desire that erases the boundary between documentary and fiction. A real-life, sixty-something university instructor in Barcelona teaches a philology class on muses in art and literature. He seeks to inspire his mostly female students to become muses themselves. The professor’s notions—and his belief that “to teach is to seduce”—provoke a lot of discussions among his charges. Meanwhile, his wife is suspicious of his motives. “An exploration of the fine lines between art and life, fiction and documentary, intellectual rigor and emotional truths.” –Hollywood Reporter. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 92 min.
