May 13: Le Fantôme de la liberté (The Phantom of Liberty) 1974
Lacking linear narration and a traditional plot, surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel's scathing send-up of bourgeois convention is presented as a series of loosely linked episodes. In this comedy of the absurd, poker-playing monks use religious medals as chips; police search for a "missing" child who's right at hand; and at an elegant dinner party, guests are seated on toilets and occasionally excuse themselves to retire and eat in private stalls.
May 20: Love and Anarchy (1973)
In pre-World War II Italy, the employees of a popular bordello realize that a new arrival (Giancarlo Giannini, who won a Best Actor award at Cannes for his portrayal) is planning to assassinate Mussolini. When one of the girls falls in love with the man, she's torn between saving him and saving her country. This is the film that put Italian director Lina Wertmueller on the map of world cinema.
May 27: Land and Freedom (1995)
British director Ken Loach made a film that finally attempts an anarchist's view of anarchists in Spain during the civil war against the fascists. The victors write history, so as losers of that war, their history has for too long remained untold. But this 1995 film, "Land & Freedom" shows what they were fighting for and what they were fighting against. One of the best aspects here is that the film also shows how the communists aggressively destroyed the anarchists more than their supposed common enemy.
