🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Javier Espada constructs a portrait that explores the tension between Buñuel's surrealist roots and his later narrative cinema. The documentary relies on a rich tapestry of archival footage and film excerpts to trace how the director's oneiric sensibility persisted, even as his style evolved.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of Buñuel's enduring subversive spirit. The film reveals how his surrealism was not a phase but a foundational lens for understanding reality's absurdities. — MovieFinder Editorial
