Luis Buñuel
3 titles · european arthouse
Bourgeois ritual interrupted by desire. Buñuel repeats an absurd obstruction until the repetition itself becomes the joke and the critique, with the Church and the middle class as standing targets.
Signature
- Dream logic presented deadpan, without transition.
- Repeating structures and thwarted routines.
- Clergy and bourgeoisie satirised throughout.
- Fetish and desire treated matter-of-factly.
