Cine sin Taquilla: Documentales
- Cravan vs. Cravan. 2002. Directed by Isaki Lacuesta.
Isaki Lacuesta's debut documentary, Cravan vs. Cravan, spins a riveting hour and a half out of the strange life and stranger death of the marginal figure of Oscar Wilde’s descendant Arthur Cravan- the early 20th-century poet, boxer and Dadaist who made his life his art. The stranger-than-fiction raw material is compelling and the successful intersection between reality and fiction makes this film one of the most risky exercises of documentary making produced in Spain.

In Spanish, Catalan, French and English with English subtitles. 100 minutes.

Wednesday, March 30, 6:15 p.m.
