"A King and His Movie"
1985
Directed by Carlos Sorin

A funny, surreal and touching look at the obsessions of a filmmaker. Trying to make a movie about the real-life story of a historical figure who proclaimed himself the King of Patagonia, a film director finds that his own dreams of cinematic grandeur are quick to fall victim to the intrusion of reality. Winner of Spain's Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film and the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Spanish with English subtitles.  104 minutes.
