THE TIT AND THE MOON
LA TETA Y LA LUNA
Spain/France, 1994, Bigas Luna
Mathilda May stars in the final part of Bigas Luna’s “Iberian Trilogy” (see 6/11 & 18). It’s the tender tale of a nine-year-old Spanish boy who still yearns for his mother’s breast, which is now monopolized by his baby brother. Jealous and frustrated, the child asks the moon for a teat of his own. His prayer is answered by the arrival of an itinerant French cabaret performer, but he soon discovers that two older males are also competing for her attention. “A featherweight but frequently charming fairy tale…A glowing widescreen canvas of vivid color.” –Variety. Subtitles. 35mm print from Europe. 90 min. Special admission $13; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $10. No passes or twofers.
