This heady masterwork isn’t particularly easy to decipher, but it’s best approached as the literal comedy of manners Buñuel intends it to be.

The Phantom of Liberty moves with great confidence and comfort. Odd that such a wicked film should feel comfortable, but there you have it. That's Bunuel.

Albeit scattershot, Phantom does cohere as a satire of keeping up appearances in which everything is as it appears.

The challenging lack of a narrative center doesn't prevent this film from having a great deal to say about the modern world and its ambivalent grasp of freedom.

Top CriticIt's wild, angry and often very funny.
10/15/03
An uproarious summary of Luis Bunuel's surrealistic concerns in a collection of anecdotes starring Jean-Claude Brialy, Michel Piccoli, and Monica Vitti.
08/31/06
A tour de force, a triumph by a director confronting almost impossible complications and contradictions and mastering them. It's very funny, all right, but remember: With Buñuel, you only laugh when it hurts.

The physical production is stunning to look at. The cast is large, first-rate, but the presence that dazzles us is that of the Old Master, just off screen, mercilessly testing our senses of sanity and humor.

as illusory as a dream about a mailman and as real as the letter you find in your hand
08/07/05
Second-tier Bunuel, sometimes on target but mostly ineffective.
