"Beauty of the Day" is a complex film about depression, liberation and addiction. It expresses director Luis Buñuel's criticism of the vulgar and empty life of the bourgeoisie. The film is known for its outstanding artistry. Few directors can treat such a sensitive and controversial subject into a highly artistic film. But Luis Buñuel made it a classic masterpiece that showed surprising wit and careful consideration
Because "Beauty of the Day" boldly hits on topics such as female sexual fantasies and sexual abuse, although the film does not have a dew-point shot from beginning to end, it has been labelled as a classic erotic by the outside world. Director Buñuel allows the story of the film to shuttle between dream and reality at will, blurring the boundary between prostitution and prostitution of the heroine. The middle-class life in the film is described as a trilogy of repression, obscenity, and emptiness, which is ridiculed as much as possible
"Beauty of the Day" explores the deep psychological and spiritual world of mankind, with a cold and strange style. Although the film explicitly shows the female masochistic psychology, the director did not indulge in frontal shooting, but adopted an indirect and obscure approach. All the extravagant obscenities in the film are left to the audience to resolve, and several details in the film are deliberately left undecided. The four-wheeled carriage from far to near at the beginning and the end of the film is even more echoing. At the end of the film, the audience can no longer tell whether what they see is true or not, and dream and reality are also mixed together
