This is not vintage Bunuel, but Mr. Philipe is unexpectedly good as the muddled idealist.

As Bu�uel's most directly political work, it certainly warrants a look.

Bu�uel's sharp-toothed study, with unmistakable traces of Huston, Clouzot, and Franco's Spain

What with all the missives and writs of agenda waiting to be signed, Fever Mounts in El Pao is noticeably burdened by excess paperwork.
