    Bunuel's masterpiece, 1967 Venice Golden Lion Award. 1. The fire of SM sexual fantasy and the picture of daydreaming also expose the hypocrisy and ugliness and emptiness of the middle class. 2. Brothels, role-playing and necrophilia, they are so elegantly filmed. 3. The surreal dreams are connected end to end, which was originally another game of indistinguishable fiction. 4. Psychoanalysis symbols: carriage, bell, red skirt, white shirt and black mud, cat, buzzing mystery box. 5. YSL; foot fetish; Deneuve's performance. (8.5/10)
