Reviews for Fever Mounts at El Pao
This is not vintage Bunuel, but Mr. Philipe is unexpectedly good as the muddled idealist.
What with all the missives and writs of agenda waiting to be signed, Fever Mounts in El Pao is noticeably burdened by excess paperwork.
As Buñuel's most directly political work, it certainly warrants a look.
