In this first edition of the Director's Highlight series, Aric and Marisa take on selected films of the controversial juggernaut Luis Buñuel. They spotlight three memorable periods of his long career: his surrealist origins in Paris, his filmmaking in Mexico, and his great late career run of films produced in France.
These eras of Buñuel's career are examined through six films: UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929), Buñuel and Salvador Dali's surrealist experimental short, VIRIDIANA (1961), the acclaimed Palme d'Or winning critique of religous charity, THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL (1962), an absurd satire of aristocratic norms, THE MILKY WAY (1969), a spiritual road film questioning the significance of religious virtues, THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE (1972), a film about an illogical dinner party that turns catastrophic, and THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY (1974), a film arranged by dream-logic that passes through episodes of history.
