CINEMA’S LEGACY
Dennis Hopper screens Viridiana
at Skirball Cultural Center - LA
Tuesday, September 19 at 7:30 PM
U.S.$6.00-U.S.$10.00

The Skirball and the American Film Institute continue a monthly series of conversations with film’s greatest producers, directors, writers, actors, and other motion-picture artists. Acclaimed guests screen work they credit with inspiring their art and discuss the great films and film artists who have influenced their careers.

The star of such cinematic gems as Blue Velvet and Apocalypse Now, Dennis Hopper is perhaps best known for his 1969 directorial debut, Easy Rider. A multitalented artist, he is also a celebrated photographer and painter. Hopper has chosen to screen the Luis Buñuel classic Viridiana, a controversial work about a virtuous young nun and the uncle determined to corrupt her. (1961, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.) A Q&A precedes the screening.
