Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and anyone who likes learning something new. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Surrealist master Luis Buñuel is a towering figure in the world of cinema history, directing such groundbreaking works as Un Chien Andalou, Exterminating Angels, and That Obscure Object of Desire, yet his personal life was clouded in myth and paradox. Though sexually diffident, he frequently worked in the erotic drama genre; though personally quite conservative, his films are florid, flamboyant, and utterly bizarre.
