Luis Bunuel's influential career began with the infamous surrealist short "Un Chien Andalou," and spanned almost 50 years of provocation and highly original filmmaking after that. This set collects the bulk of Bunuel's later films, after his eventual migration to France until the end of his life. These are some of his best and best-known films. "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeosie" and "Phantom of Liberty" reflect a semi-random, episodic structure similar to "Chien Andalou," but made over 40 years later and consequently much more mature and more focused in their examinations of hypocricy, bourgeosie laziness, and political oppression. "Diary of a Chambermaid" and "Belle de Jour" locate Bunuel's concerns more specifically in the sexual dimension of oppression, and this is a theme that he would realize most fully in his final film, "That Obscure Object of Desire." This film explores the nature of sexual domination and frustration by using two different actresses to play the same woman, and interweaving the tale of hot/cold seduction with a running commentary on social class, terrorism, rebellion, and economics. In all his films, Bunuel tangles the personal with the political in this way, as interested in the sexuality of a single couple as he is in the government of an entire nation. The set also includes classics "The Young One," "The Milky Way" and "Tristana." All films have brief but informative critical interviews as extras, and the quality of the transfers ranges from pretty good to wonderful.
