CGiii Comment

Quite remarkable for its day...

Buñuel doesn't let go...he plays with emotion, lulling you into a false sense of empathy and then hits you between the eyes.

It's a bleak world - no-one is immune to lovelessness, disloyalty and an inherent cruelty.

The bleakest depiction of humanity.
