Few filmmakers navigate the libidinal and the lyrical quite like Spanish sensualist Bigas Luna, a provocateur with a painter’s eye, whose films are lush with eroticism, surrealist flourishes, delirium, and grotesquery. His films—including the Iberian Trilogy comprising the international sensation JAMÓN JAMÓN (which launched the careers of superstars Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem), GOLDEN BALLS, and THE TIT AND THE MOON—are celebrations of the carnal pleasures of both sex and food, laced with trenchant critiques of Spanish identity, culture, and machismo.
