The Cultural Minister escorted the Mayor to College Of Marin Latino Film Festival for the final night's presentation of "La Luce Prodigioso".
This marvelous film was developed on the premise that Spanish author Federico garcia Lorca survived his assassination by Franco's troops in 1936. With time shifting of scenes, it required close observation. The acting was superb, scenes were dramatic, and the modern era was thoughtfully arranged. The recent exhumation of Lorca's body lent a twist to the story: was it really him?
The photography was excellent and the old city parts of Granada felt as if you were walking those narrow streets.
This film had subtitles, but the meaning of the dialogue hardly needed translation. This darkest of dark periods of modern Spain continues to produce great art by writers, actors,and film makers. See it if you can; but this film probably will not be generally released in the USA.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
