The Cinephile Film Club will be hosting the screening of the French film(with English subtitles), The Phantom of Liberty (1974), directed by Luis Buñuel, the master of surrealism in cinema on March 3 at 6.30 pm, hosted by Sachin Chatte.
Director Luis Buñuel has a unique place in the annals of cinema, for the kind of path-breaking films he made. Writer Octavio Paz called Buñuel's work "the marriage of the film image to the poetic image, creating a new reality, scandalous and subversive”. The Phantom of Liberty was Buñuel's second last film and one which he had a soft spot for. The story, if one can call it that, is a series of unrelated vignettes reflecting the director’s satirical humor and outlandish take, challenging social norms.
Membership for the film club is now open; you can visit esg.co.in and register online. The membership is valid from the present day till March 2023.
