LOCATION: MANDELA AUDITORIUM, FEDEX GLOBAL CENTER, UNC-CHDir. Alex Santiago Pérez / 90 min / Puerto Rico / 2014Spanish w/ English subtitlesDirected by one of the most talented emerging filmmakers coming out of the new wave of Puerto Rican cinema, Cows Wearing Glasses uses a subtle sense of humor to touch upon issues of aging. Marso, a lonely, eccentric painter and art professor, is losing his sight. As the world as he knows it comes to an end, he is now forced to re-examine an existence filled with professional successes but unsatisfying personal relationships. He tries to reestablish a relationship with his only daughter while his thoughts are filled with longing for simpler times. The fear and uncertainty of what lies ahead have left an imprint on his psyche, and maybe even on his morals. With an impeccable performance by Daniel Lugo as Marso, Cows Wearing Glasses is a reflexive tale of a man facing the inevitable.Co-Sponsored by Romance Studies and the Center of Global Initiatives UNC-Chapel Hill, and PRAGDA
