Le Fantôme de la Liberté

Back to listing

In the 1970s, the world was turned on its head, as borne out by tales involving poker-playing monks, a sadomasochistic businessman, rampaging police and guests at a topsy-turvy dinner party. Is there a link between these surrealist events and a blasphemous act committed in Toledo in 1808? An inverted, crazy and hilarious universe created by Luis Buñuel.

Screening at Cinémathèque suisse on Thursday 24th September 2020 at 18:00.
