The Phantom of Liberty
1974 1 hr 44 min
R
Join us in-theater for a discussion with Pulitzer Prize-winning Writer, Paul Muldoon.
Director Luis Buñuel presents one of his most audacious and surrealistic films with THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY. This collection of short vignettes touches on morally subversive subject matters in a stream-of-consciousness style while zig-zagging across time periods, jumping from one inherently absurd scenario to another. Buñuel’s film is equal parts playful, hilarious, and odd, depicting mature sexual topics in a darkly comic nature. Rated R. In French and Spanish with subtitles.
