7:30 & 9:20pm / Movies

The New Beverly revival house will screen two films, masterpieces both, by the late Spanish director Luis Bun~uel, an acute observer of social mores and follies. “Viridiana” (1961) is an excoriation of his homeland’s sexual, religious and social hypocrisies. (The highlight: Bun~uel’s restaging of Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” at a peasant orgy, to Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.”) And “The Exterminating Angel” (1962), a corrosive allegory about a party salon full of haut monde types who suddenly, disturbingly discover they can’t leave the room. Both films are examples of the cinema’s best socio-religious fables.

* Luis Bun~uel double feature, New Beverly Cinema, 7165 Beverly Blvd. “Viridiana,” 7:30 p.m. “The Exterminating Angel,” 9:20 p.m. $3 to $5. (323) 938-4038.

noon: Art

You would think the usual public art headaches would have eluded a seminal sculptor like Auguste Rodin, but “Rodin’s Monument to Victor Hugo,” opening today at LACMA, proves otherwise. The public art committee and Rodin did not exactly see oeuil-to-oeuil on the project, a monument to the great French writer in a series of sculptures honoring France’s heroes. LACMA’s exhibition, composed of a bronze cast created from one of Rodin’s models and 20 related bronze, marble, plaster and terra-cotta sculptures, demonstrate what Rodin went through in trying to create a public sculpture honoring Hugo--a monument that never materialized.

* “Rodin’s Monument to Victor Hugo,” Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905 Wilshire Blvd. Ends March 15. Museum hours: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, noon to 8 p.m.; Fridays, noon to 9 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission: adults, $7; students and seniors, $5; children, $1; age 5 and younger, free. (323) 857-6000.
