    Fulfilling his father's prophecy of disaster Robinson Crusoe is stranded on a deserted island along with his cat Sam and his dog Felix while on a trip to purchase African slaves. His curiosity is unending and his recycling of the land's resources highly economical (he protects himself from wild beasts and savages using the pilfered remains of his now-sunken ship). More so than any other dramatization of Daniel Defoe's classic novel Bunuel's Robinson Crusoe is both morally ambitious

Diary Of A Chambermaid Luis Bunuel's sharp unrelenting remake of Jean Renoir's 1946 film concerns fascism in 1939 France and how the bourgeoisie are viewed by maid Celestine (Jeanne Moreau) who stirs the desires of her new household and neighbours... The Milky Way Two men making a religious pilgrimage through France form the basis for string of lucid Luis Bunuel 'jokes' parables and surrealistic visions. Heretical funny and haunting...

  • The Great MadcapThe Great Madcap | DVD | (23/10/2006) from £9.98   |  Saving you £12.00 (150.19%)   |  RRP £19.99

    Buuel's first ""comeback"" film since L'Age d'Or in 1930 (he made only a few musicals in the interim) El Gran Calavera concerns a family's attempts to change the patriarch's somewhat indulgent and hedonistic ways by fooling him into thinking his large fortune is gone. They assume a life of poverty in Mexico in an attempt to teach him a lesson. However he discovers it's a ruse but continues to perpetuate the facade of ignorance while sneaking off during the day to conduct his thriving business. Why? To teach his family a lesson - they are all lazy worthless leeches!

    Just after boarding a train, much to the surprise of his fellow passengers, a man pours a bucket of water over a young girl on the platform. Over the next few hours he explains (and we see in flashback) how he became obsessed by her (so much so that he failed to notice that she was played by two different actresses, representing different sides of her personality), and how she tantalised him, but would never allow him to satisfy his desire for her...

    Belle De Jour : Undoubtedly Luis Bunuel's most accessible film Belle de Jour is an elegant and erotic masterpiece that maintains as hypnotic a grip on modern audiences as it did on its debut 30 years ago. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) plays Severine the glacially beautiful sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Cl''menti) and ignites an obsession that will court peril. In Belle Toujours his homage to Luis Bunuel and Jean-Claude Carriere Manoel De Oliveira reunites the leading characters from Bunuel's erotic masterpiece the 1967 classic Belle De Jour. French cinema icon Michel Piccoli returns as Henri Husson - older and wiser but still every bit the sadist libertine who in the original both lusted after and callously taunted Catherine Deneuve's Severine to the very end. What exactly did Husson whisper into the ear of her paraplegic husband? Did he reveal Severine's double life as a high class prostitute? In Belle Toujours Severine is played by Bulle Ogier whom Piccoli's Husson first spots sitting a few rows away from him at a concert in Paris. A cat and mouse game ensures until Husson manages to gain her attention with the intention of revealing the secret that he alone can unfold. After years of lingering torment Severine is finally offered a chance to uncover the truth. As elegant as Severine as playful as Husson Belle Toujours is a lovely meditation about memory the persistence of desire lost opportunities and the power of stories.

  • Belle De Jour 50th Anniversary [DVD]Belle De Jour 50th Anniversary | DVD | (02/10/2017) from £9.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

    Stunningly restored for the 50th anniversary, BELLE DE JOUR is an elegant and erotic masterpiece and undoubtedly Luis Buñuel's most accessible film. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve plays Séverine, the glacially beautiful, sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon, whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Clémenti), and ignites an obsession that will court peril. Buñuel uses diffused lighting, dark colours, and shadows throughout the film to temper the gravity and emotional impact of each uncomfortable scene. Left to our own imaginative devices, the result is a film that is highly unsettling, perverse, and inevitably tragic. SPECIAL FEATURES: The Last Script A Story of Perversion or Emancipation?
