ABOUT THE FILMS: GOLDEN BALLS, 1993, Dir: Bigas Luna, 95 Minutes, EGEDA, Spain/Italy/France. In Spanish with English subtitles. Arguably Bigas Luna’s greatest masterpiece and one of the funniest, sexiest and most disturbing portraits of the new Spain put on film. Benito (Javier Bardem, at his carnal best) believes that because he has (literally) two huevos, he deserves two of everything else: Rolexes, cars, women, whatever. Co-starring the stunning Maribel Verdu (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN) and Maria de Medeiros (PULP FICTION). Luna’s caustic satire of kitsch and the new rich has something to offend everyone. FORMAT: 35mm THE TIT AND THE MOON, 1994, Dir: Bigas Luna, 90 Minutes, EGEDA, Spain/France. In Spanish, French, and Catalan with English subtitles. Nine-year-old Tete, fueled by jealously following the birth of his baby brother, sets out to find the perfect pair of breasts from which to feed. When gorgeous dancer Estrellita comes to town, he thinks he’s got his match. All the men have their eye on the new girl, however, and Tete must weigh his chances against her adult suitors. FORMAT: 35mm
