Nocturne 29 (1968): cast, story & where to watch
1968 · Film · ★ 5.2
Released in 1968, Nocturne 29 is a drama, horror and mystery film directed by Pere Portabella, running about 86 minutes.
What it’s about. Portabella’s first feature, co-scripted by poet Joan Brossa, became one of the most influential works of the Barcelona avant-garde, although like all his early films, it circulated only in an underground fashion. Eschewing dialogue, the director constructs a non-narrative story in fragments that reveal the daily lives of an adulterous couple interspersed with a cryptic stream of unrelated imagery. The title of this homage to directors including Eisenstein, Antonioni, Bergman, and Buñuel refers to the 29 “black years” of the Franco dictatorship. — chicago.cervantes.es
