Bigas Luna: la mirada entomòloga

Bigas Luna is one of the most interesting Spanish filmmakers working today, a director always faithful to his own style and his obsessions (mostly food and sex). His movies are sensual (Jamón, Jamón), strange (La teta i la lluna), often fascinating (La camarera del Titanic), always provocative (Huevos de oro). About his most modern films, like Bilbao or Caniche, are disturbing, ugly, dirty, sordid, but also strangely beautiful. He’s like poetry extracted from ugliness.
