THREE FILMS BY LUIS BUNUEL BD

Academy Award-winner for Best Foreign Film stars Fernando Rey, Delphine Seyrig, Paul Frankeur, Stephane Audran, Bulle Ogier, Jean-Pierre Cassel. 101 min. In French with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR The Phantom Of Liberty (1974)Luis Bunuels most surrealistic film, a crazy mix of vignettes that somehow mesh perfectly together with all the logic of a dream. Stops include a firing squad during Napoleonic times, a poker game played by monks and a nurse and a police station where a girl fills out her own missing persons report. With Michel Piccoli, Jean Rochefort and Monica Vitti. 103 min. In French with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR That Obscure Object Of Desire (1977)Luis Bunuels final film is a compelling, surrealist drama that chronicles the bizarre, sadomasochistic affair between wealthy, middle-aged Frenchman Mathieu (Fernando Rey) and the much younger Conchita. In an innovative bit of casting, Bunuel chose to depict Conchitas fickle nature by having two actresses (Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina) alternate in the role.
