Criterion Reflections – Episode 19 – Luis Garcia Berlanga’s Long Live the Bride and Groom

David and Josh Hornbeck discuss this very funny portrayal of the conflict between lust and repression in a sun-drenched coastal Spanish resort.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Josh Hornbeck to discuss Long Live the Bride and Groom, directed by Luis Garcia Berlanga, currently available on the Criterion Channel on FilmStruck.
