More Info

BIRDSONG (EL CANT DELS OCELLS), 2008, 98 min. Dir. Albert Serra. In what instantly ranks as one of cinema’s most unusual takes on the nativity story, this second feature by Catalan director Albert Serra (KNIGHT’S HONOR) reimagines the journey of the three kings to visit Jesus. Investing the story of the Magi with humor and deep humanity (and photographing it in gorgeous black-and-white in remote locations), Serra recalls both Beckett and Bunuel but tells a story all his own. Winner of three Gaudi Awards, including Best Film and Best Director, this movie confirms Catalan director Serra as one of the most original voices in world cinema. Using non-professional actors and natural light, Serra achieves a reality in both of his films that pays tribute to the majesty of the natural landscape. Catalan and Hebrew with English subtitles. “A lovely and strange new film by the Catalan director Albert Serra…A sensibility that recalls Luis Buñuel and Samuel Beckett.” A. O. Scott - New York Times
