Category / Bunuel, Luis

Phantom of Liberty, The (1974)

  • Bunuel, Luis, Criterion Collection
  • 1974, France, Luis Bunuel
  • Leave a comment

Bunuel’s absurdly fun penultimate feature seems to have been beamed directly from his unconscious—a provocative, taboo-smashing take on the idiocy of institutions and the irrational lunacy of human beings. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Robinson Crusoe (1954)

  • Bunuel, Luis
  • 1954, Luis Bunuel, Mexico, USA
  • Leave a comment

Bunuel’s first film in colour was his closest flirtation with a Hollywood style of filmmaking, effortlessly adapting the famous story of a shipwrecked man who must live solitarily on an unknown island for an unknown number of years.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

That Obscure Object of Desire (1977)

  • Bunuel, Luis, Criterion Collection
  • 1977, France, Luis Bunuel
  • Leave a comment

Sexual politics and sociopolitics dovetail in Bunuel’s mesmerising final film, featuring two actresses taking turns to play the female lead.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Belle de jour (1967)

  • Bunuel, Luis, Criterion Collection
  • 1967, France, Luis Bunuel
  • 3 Comments

A bold and stunning effort by Bunuel that explores with psychological depth both sexual repression and expression from the perspective of a sexy but frigid young woman.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Exterminating Angel, The (1962)

  • Bunuel, Luis, Criterion Collection
  • 1962, Luis Bunuel, Mexico
  • Leave a comment

Not Bunuel at his finest, but he takes down the upper-classes in the kind of sharp comic absurdity that he is known for. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐
