Ending Bunuel's career that's roughly as long as the history of the movie with a smoky scene makes sense, but the movie falls short. Deleuze praised Buñuel for inventing the direct time-image, cum creating a new Buñuel time on top of the chronological time, but this Buñuel time is given by the...

At first, I thought it was really pointless for two actors to play the same role, but once I started to appreciate the strong difference behind Conchita's two faces, I immediately started to be shocked by this movie.

What kind of woman is she that can fool a rich man over and over again, making him...

Thanks for the dehydrated version, I took a quick look at this movie. Behind the absurdity, it reflects that ideals do not have so much power in decision-making. The vast majority of people, the vast majority of the time we are doing, meaningless things, like novels waiting for Godot.

When we look...

God-like Buñuel, god-like scheduling, the actors, as always, have completed a subtle movement under the art of directing in his art world. This movement is followed by the camera in a streamlined manner, with extremely clever expression and artistic techniques! The strength of Buñuel, I think, lies...

25 The film presents a very peculiar spectacle that no one had ever tried before Luis Buñuel's epiphany in 1977. The film's original lead actress was Maria Schneider, who gave a relatively good performance in Bernardo Bertolucci's "Ultimo tango a Parigi", but filming has begun. Three days after the...

{March 31, 1978} By Dave Kehr from When Movies Mattered_ Reviews from a Transformative Decade

Luis Buñuel, who will turn 78 this year, is still a radical when it comes to surrealist cinema. It's been half a century since he opened an actress's eyeball in "An Andalusian Dog." The film,...

This film is still a film in which the master Bu Nuer uses surreal techniques to express bourgeois sexual fantasy and possessiveness.     The hero of the film, Mathieu, is no longer a young but wealthy person of the upper class. Once, when he saw his young and beautiful new maid Kenchita, he wanted...
