Chicago ReaderDave KehrFeb 21, 2013
Buñuel conjures with Freudian imagery, outrageous humor, and a quiet, lyrical camera style to create one of his most complex and complete works, a film that continues to disturb and transfix. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertFeb 21, 2013
A few great directors have the ability to draw us into their dream world, into their personalities and obsessions and fascinate us with them for a short time. This is the highest level of escapism the movies can provide for us. Read full review

The film, which came out in 1970 after a censorship battle with the Franco regime, catches — and releases — all the tension of shifting sexual mores. You can almost sense the director's pleasure in taking apart the duplicities of a patriarchal Spanish society. [21 Feb. 2013] Read full review

Yet Bunuel, despite occasional digs, has remained more or less respectful. Read full review
