Don’t miss this rare opportunity to discover one of Buñuel’s lost masterpieces in a sparkling new 16mm print! “… should not be missed. Set in the backwaters and jungles of an unidentified South American dictatorship, Death in the Garden is a large-scale narrative that takes on the state, church, the military, society and the individual in such a way that you feel the director must have intended this primeval locale to be a kind of psychological mirror-image of the Franco Spain from which he exiled himself.” (Vincent Canby, 1977) Preceded by: Simon of the Desert (1966), Buñuel’s scathing religious satire of St. Simon Stylite’s attempts to preach the word of God despite the Devil’s efforts to tempt him.
