Event Details

El gran calavera (The Great Madcap)
dir. Luis Buñuel
Mexico, 1949, 92 minutes, English sub-titles
 
One of the classic comedies of the ‘Golden Age’ of Mexican cinema, film legend Luis Buñuel’s The Great Madcap is the inspiration for We Are The Nobles (screening on Saturday, May 2, at 7:00PM). Buñuel’s first ‘comeback’ film since L’Age d’Or in 1930, Madcap concerns a family’s attempts to change its patriarch’s indulgent and hedonistic ways by tricking him into thinking his large fortune is gone. They assume a life of poverty in an attempt to teach him a lesson. When he discovers their strategy, he decides to teach his family a lesson by pretending to be poor while raking in millions in his business affairs without their knowledge. Very funny, very corrosive, very Buñuel.
