The Phantom of Liberty
Watch TrailerThis Surrealist film, with a title referencing the Communist Manifesto, strings together short incidents based on the life of director Luis Buñuel. Presented as chance encounters, these loosely related, intersecting situations, all without a consistent protagonist, reach from the 19th century to the 1970s. Touching briefly on subjects such as execution, pedophilia, incest, and sex, the film features an array of characters, including a sick father and incompetent police officers.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film operates in a light register — but not superficially. Behind each joke is an observation about people, not just a desire to amuse.
Goes down easy, leaves a good aftertaste. Not every joke lands equally — but the overall tone holds.
For those who just want to relax. Asks nothing — just time and a willingness to smile.
Director: Luis Buñuel
