series Buñuel
Directed by Luis Buñuel | 1974
With Jean-Claude Brialy, Michel Piccoli, Monica Vitti
“A tour de force, a triumph by a director confronting almost impossible complications and contradictions and mastering them.”
—Roger Ebert
Buñuel mercilessly mocked the idea of normalcy in this episodic mélange of audacious set-pieces: police investigate the disappearance of a non-missing child, monks gamble with holy relics, murder is celebrated, the military is called in to deal with a fox, and a now-infamous “dinner” party takes “toilet humor” to a whole new level. One of the director’s most outrageous surrealist fantasias.
