Every bit as subversive and disruptive as his debut Un Chien Andalou (1929), this swansong masterpiece from Luis Buñuel is the summation of a 48-year obsession with eroticism, jealousy and violence.
Fernando Rey’s horny widower is the bourgeois schmuck stripped of his civility, his passion fanned and doused by a 19-year-old maid (played by Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina).
Interviews with the female leads and Buñuel regulars Jean-Claude Carrière and Edmond Richard are supplemented by a handsome booklet.
