Él

1953 · dir. Luis Buñuel

What they share

Theysit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sin Nombre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Él is

A church, midday. Perfume. Francisco's eyes lock, possess. Marriage follows, then suspicion, festering in plain sight. Delusion curdles into baroque control. One of Buñuel's darkest, most perverse bourgeois portraits.
