The Phantom of Liberty
This Surrealist Spanish film, with a title referencing the Communist Manifesto, weaves together short incidents from director Luis Buuel's life. These loosely related, intersecting situations, all without a consistent protagonist, range from the nineteenth century to the 1970s and are presented as chance encounters. The film features an array of characters, including a sick father and incompetent police officers, and briefly touches on subjects such as execution, pedophilia, incest, and sex.
