Long unavailable due to obscure reasons of film rights, this is perhaps the most underseen of Luis Buñuel’s great films made during his sojourn in Mexico. Here, Buñuel is unsparing in his incisive and downright dark portrayal of a man, outwardly normal, who, behind closed doors, terrorizes his inamorata. But because of the place of women in society, she has no place to turn for help. Bleak, powerful, and relevant.
Charles Ramírez Berg, author of The Classical Mexican Cinema: The Poetics of the Exceptional Golden Age Films, will join us on Sunday, May 25, for a post-film discussion.
