Come to the Gatsby Room in Wolfson College's this Sunday the 12th at 21:30 to see a modern classic of Spanish cinema. "Tesis" by Alejandro Amenabar is a thrilling commentary on the pretty façade of today's society and its underground currents, embodied in "Snuff":

Ángela, a film student in Madrid, is writing a thesis on violence in media. In her search for material, she befriends Chema, a reclusive student deeply interested in violent and pornographic films. But even Chema's extensive collection does not seem to have what interests Ángela: Snuff films, where real people are slowly tortured and killed. But her efforts are rewarded when she finds her professor dead, watching a real Snuff tape, which quickly draws her into a deadly game...
