Francisco, a pillar of bourgeois respectability, falls madly in love with a young woman he happens to spot in church one day. After a relentless courtship, he marries the beauty, but their life together is not the blissful paradise he had hoped for. What seemed to be love at first sight soon turns into a destructive, debilitating obsession. Francisco descends to incredible depths of paranoia, his thoughts dominated by fears that his lovely wife has been unfaithful to him. As this unbearable jealousy blossoms into insanity, Francisco's behavior becomes even more ludicrous and erratic. [More]

Reviews for El
Abraçando o expressionismo como instrumento fundamental para representar o protagonista, Buñuel fascina com suas rimas visuais e temáticas.
Released at the pinnacle of his prolific Mexican period, Él (This Strange Passion) remains one of Buñuel's crowning achievements.
The hero's wonderful crooked walk in the final shot seems the perfect emblem of Bunuel's own sly subversion in adverse circumstances.
