Nocturne 29 (Pere Portabella, Spain, 1969)

https://notesonfilm1.com/2022/01/20/thinking-aloud-about-film-nocturne-29-pere-portabella-spain-1968/ The podcast touches on the Portabella’s bringing together some of the great artists of the 20th century to work on various levels of the film (music, script, art, cinema); whether it being the Marxist work of a bourgeois is inherently a problem, the significance of particular scenes (the poker games, the ending with the flags), the casting of Lucía Bosé and Mario Cabré, its form and its possible meanings. It’s a fascinating film and an extraordinary first work by a key director more people should be familiar with. It is currently on MUBI.
