Imagining Christ: Three Wise Films
Saturday May 31, 2008
4 pm
Harold M. Williams Auditorium, Getty Center
Whether allegorical, speculative, or fodder for parody, filmmakers have looked to the Christ story for both inspiration and for a leading protagonist. The three films in this series do not cast a literal Christ, but rather have Christ-figures who encounter contemporary parallels. Presented in cooperation with the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Complements the exhibition Imagining Christ.
Saturday, May 31, 4:00 p.m.—Simon of the Desert (1965, Mexico)
Luis Buñuel's Simon of the Desert is the ascetic St. Simon who stood on a pedestal for six years, six months, and six days observing his adulators' needs and demand for cheap miracles while simultaneously trying to ward off a very sexy Satan.
Preceded by: Parable (1964, USA)
Commissioned for exhibition in the Protestant Council's Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair, the 22-minunte Parable is, according to Time magazine, "basically an art film that got religion."
