DESCRIPTION:El Puño de hierro (The Iron Fist)\nGabriel García Moreno, 1927, 77 
 min.\nThursday, August 7, 8 p.m.\nThis rare, remarkable silent adventure 
 opens with a young man experiencing his first shot of morphine. To try to 
 describe the rest of the breathless plot would be futile, but suffice to 
 say that it involves hints of bestiality, homosexual orgies, a lecture on 
 the horrors of drug addiction, documentary footage of strait-jacketed 
 patients, and a pipe-smoking ten-year-old boy detective who helps save the 
 day. A trail-blazing example of Surrealism in the country that fostered 
 Frida Kahlo and Luis Buñuel, the film disappeared from public view after a 
 few screenings in Veracruz in 1927, until a restored version premiered in 
 Mexico City in 2001. Silent, with Spanish and English intertitles and live 
 musical accompaniment.\n\nTickets are available at the museum (no 
 surcharge) or through www.sfmoma.org/tickets (surcharge applies).\n\n$5 
 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free 
 ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films 
 offered on the same date are included in one ticket.\n\n\n
