BUÃUEL AND KING SOLOMON'S TABLE is director Carlos Saura's fond and whimsical tribute to his old friend, Luis Buñuel. Instead of making a biography of Buñuel, which Saura felt would not be true to Buñuel's spirit, Saura imagines Buñuel (Gran Wyoming) being proposed a film idea by producer David Goldman (Jean-Claude Carrière, who co-wrote THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISE, THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY, and THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE with Buñuel). The script is about a search through Toledo for the legendary table of King Solomon. The table possesses a magically mirrored top that reflects back the past, present, and future (just as Saura's film does, in a sense). Buñuel imagines his younger self (Pere Arquillué) and his friends, Federico Garcia Lorca (Adriá Collado) and Salvador Dali (Ernesto Alterio) transported into modern times in a quest for the mysterious artifact--a spiritual adventure that forces each of them to examine his darkest fears. The trio encounters beautiful but dangerous women, a demented film critic, and a giant robot modeled after the robot Maria in Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS. The film contains a good amount of self-referential humor, so those familiar with the work of the three "heroes" will find it especially entertaining.
