Staff
The Modern Language
Department will sponsor a
Foreign Film Festival
November 17, 18, and 19 at
8:00 p.m. in the Multi
purpose Room of Jordan
Student Center.
The first film, El muerto
(The Dead Man), is from
Argentina. Covering an*
ambitious man’s life among
gaucho smugglers, this film
can be viewed as a "Godfather-
type western” set in the
pampas. To be shown on
Tuesday, Nov. 17, it is in
Spanish with English subtitles.
Wednesday’s film is the
French Diva. This thriller also
deals with the underworld, but
this time the criminals are tape
and record pirates. Set in Paris,
the plot centers around an
opera fan who is obsessed with
a famous singer. By mistake he
ends up with some illegal tapes,
and the chase is on. This film,
in French, also has English
subtitles.
On Thursday, there is a
comedy from Spain, La linea
del cielo (Skyline). The setting
is New York City, so the
dialogue is a mixture of
Spanish and English (also with
subtitles). This film deals with
a Spanish photographer who
has come to New York to sell
his work and to become
famous. Besides being a
comedy, it also illustrates the
many difficulties of adapting to
a different culture.
Attendance at any showing
carries Humanities credit, and
the Student Affairs Office is
supplying free popcorn.
