The International Film Series will
conclude with the Spanish film
Amantes. The 1991 Spanish film
Amantes (Lovers) will be shown on
Monday, October 26 at 7:00p.m. Di
rected by Vicente Aranda, this film is
the true story of an extraordinary ro
mantic triangle that gripped an entire
nation and shattered the lives of those
it touched. The film takes place in
Madrid during the Franco-dominated
1950’s and focuses on the aimless
youth. Paco (Jorge San/) becomes the
object of desire of two very different
women: Trini (Victoria Abril), his
very proper virginal and doting fian
cee, and Luisa (Maribcl Verdu), his
highly impoper landlady. The Mary
Behrend Cultural Fund and the School
of Humanties and Social Sciences
fund the Internaional film Series. The
film, which is free and open to the
public, will be shown in the Reed
Union Building Lecture Hall. For
mor-. info contact the Humanties and
Social Sciences Office at 898-6108.
