Spanish Language Cinema
The Exterminating Angel
"A group of high-society friends are invited to a mansion for dinner and inexplicably find themselves unable to leave in Luis Bunuel's daring masterpiece."
The Motorcycle Diaries
"A stirring portrait of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal) as a young man."
Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
"Pedro Almodovar's colorful and controversial tribute to the pleasures and perils of Stockholm syndrome,this film is a rambunctious dark comedy starring Antonio Banderas as an unbalanced but alluring ex-mental-patient and Victoria Abril as the B-movie and former porn star he takes prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him."
Viridiana
"Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican, Luis Bunuel's irreverent vision of life as a beggar's banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism."
