Movies you will not find in Netflix

The program ā€œClassics with youā€ brings back eleven great feature films that connected with the public of their time and that today are considered reference films of Spanish cinematography. It is a commitment to quality Spanish cinema designed for cinephiles around the world. The eleven movies, subtitled in English, will be shown over eleven weekends –one film per weekend, being each title available only for 48 hours.

The film cycle started last May 9 with Death of a Cyclist (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955), and continued the following week with Welcome, Mr. Marshall!, (Luis GarcĆ­a Berlanga, 1953). After the screening of Viridiana, another relevant title will fill up the last weekend of May: El verdugo, a black comedy directed by Luis GarcĆ­a Berlanga in 1963.
