Movie Reviews of The Milky Way (Criterion Collection)
Movie Review: Better than average Bunuel
Summary: 4 Stars
In watching Bunuel, one has to accept the inevitable disconnectedness of surrealism. By providing us with the 'spine' of the two travelers' pilgrimage, the movie has continuity while still allowing the director a free hand for his precociousness. The result is a lot of separate stories, ideas, delightful silliness, and surprises that keep the viewer involved and challenged, but not confused. This is one of the better Bunuel films in my opinion. In addition, the print and color were exceptional, except in a few washed out clips. Finally, the extras were adequate, which is more than I can say for most of the Bunuel offerings I've purchased.
Summary of The Milky Way (Criterion Collection)
The first of what Luis Bunuel later proclaimed a trilogy (along with The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Phantom of Liberty) about "the search for truth" The Milky Way (La voie lactee) daringly deconstructs contemporary and traditional views on Catholicism with ribald rambunctious surreality. Two French beggars present-day pilgrims en route to Spain's holy city of Santiago de Compostela serve as Bunuel's narrators for an anticlerical history of heresy told with absurdity and filled with images that rank among Bunuel's most memorable (stigmatic children crucified nuns) and hilarious (Jesus considering a good shave). A diabolically entertaining look at the mysteries of fanaticism The Milky Way remains a hotly debated work from cinema's greatest skeptic.
