With Julien Bertheau, Miléna Vukotic, =0D=0A=Jean Rochefort=0D=0A=France 1974, 35mm, color, 104 min. French with English subtitles=0D=0A==0D=0A=“I'm sick of symmetry,” states Monsieur Foucauld as he repositions his preserved spider above the mantel. Achieving total Buñuelian liberation from the despotic narrative form, this elegant labyrinth of contradictory, dream-like scenarios – each of which breaks-off and follows a different character – maintains a curious unity of its own. Never explicit or predictable in its sly comedy, Buñuel presents a deadpan inversion of normalcy that plays upon the tension between paradox, ambiguity and taboo: police searching for a missing girl that is not missing, modern guests seated at toilets around a table, a military roadblock due to a fox sighting. Upsetting and opening up expectation, the film resembles a conversation with a child; it is a playfully relentless reconsideration of our accepted existences where conclusion would suggest not liberty, but death.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:9:15pm
