Screening of LULÚ

Screening of LULÚ

Wed, Sep 23, 5:45 PM
From Cinema Mentiré - Latin American film club
4.8

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://thecastlecinema.com/programme/112740/lulu-presented-by-cinema-mentire/ Lucas and Ludmila are young lovers living on the streets of Buenos Aires, navigating the city as if it were a board game. Lucas works collecting bones and butcher-shop scraps in a truck, spending much of his time roaming the city with a gun, firing celebratory bullets at city monuments and excited by the infinite possibilities around him and the sense of impunity that love affords him. Ludmila rolls around in a wheelchair she might not really need, avoiding her family’s responsibilities. When Ludmila finally makes a decision that leaves Lucas alone in the city, he will have to reconsider his behaviour and relationship with his gun. ***Lulú*** is a freewheeling and unruly film from prolific Argentinian director Luis Ortega, whose surreal cinematic language cuts through expected norms and tackles the tribulations of love, loyalty, and lawlessness. The screening will have a special introduction by [Cinema Mentiré](https://www.cinemamentire.co.uk/), a pop-up film club promoting Latin American cinema in the UK, and is presented in partnership with [Jellied Reels](https://www.jellied-reels.com/), which serves up monthly screenings of undeniable and undistributed cinema in London.
