‘My Mexican Bretzel’

February 23 | 7:00 pm

$8 – $10

Nuria Giménez’s ‘My Mexican Bretzel’ is a silent home movie documentary turned delicate fantasy. Onscreen subtitles, ostensibly taken from diary entries by socialite Vivian Barrett, are combined with footage shot from the 1940s through the 1960s by Vivian’s husband Léon, a former World War II pilot. The resulting reverie on relationships is remarkable — especially when it becomes obvious that Vivian Barrett doesn’t exist; she’s solely Giménez’s creation.
