BUÑUEL AND KING SOLOMON'S TABLE is director Carlos Saura's fond and whimsical tribute to his old friend, Luis Buñuel. Instead of making a biography of Buñuel, which Saura felt would not be true to Buñuel's spirit, Saura imagines Buñuel (Gran Wyoming) being proposed a film idea by producer David Goldman (Jean-Claude Carrière, who co-wrote THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISE, THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY, and THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE with Buñuel). The script is about a search through Toledo for the legendary table of King Solomon. The table possesses a magically mirrored top that reflects back the past, present, and future (just as Saura's film does, in a sense). Buñuel imagines his younger self (Pere Arquillué) and his friends, Federico Garcia Lorca (Adriá Collado) and Salvador Dali (Ernesto Alterio) transported into modern times in a quest for the mysterious artifact--a spiritual adventure that forces each of them to examine his darkest fears. The trio encounters beautiful but dangerous women, a demented film critic, and a giant robot modeled after the robot Maria in Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS. The film contains a good amount of self-referential humor, so those familiar with the work of the three "heroes" will find it especially entertaining.
This is the only Gran Wyoming video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Armando De Razza.

The videotaped will of deceased billionaire Red Stevens (James Garner) includes the "ultimate gift" for his spoiled, sullen grandson Jason (Drew Fuller). A series of tasks meant to turn Jason from a hedonistic jerk into a compassionate human being is included in the will, but whether that's the gift or there's a fortune at the end of the rainbow is something Jason will just have to wait to find out. First, he's sent to Texas to work on the ranch of one of Red's old pals (Brian Dennehey). Then his trust fund is cut off and he's thrown into the streets where he battles a bum for a park bench and eventually makes friends with a young girl--dying of leukemia--named Emily (Abigail Breslin). There's some romantic bonding with Emily's struggling mom (Ali Hills) and danger down in Costa Rica, where Jason winds up hostage to some drug-running thugs. Bill Cobbs and Lee Meriwether ...

In this powerful semi-autobiographical film, acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, TALK TO HER) tracks the formative experiences of his coming of age in a Catholic boys school. While the film benefits from Almodovar's limitless range of color, beauty, and moving expression, the themes presented are dark and difficult. Pedophilia, lost love, mistaken identity, manipulation, drug addiction, and desperation prevail, giving this otherwise sexy and vibrant film a chilling subtext.
Gael Garcia Bernal gives a jaw-dropping performance, playing two of the main characters. First, he plays a screenwriter named Ignacio, who reunites with his childhood friend, Enrique (Fele Martinez), a filmmaker, ...
