The Criminal Life
of Archibaldo de la Cruz (1955) – L. Buñuel
There's certainly one
thing you can say about a Buñuel film and that is that it is very difficult to
predict what will happen from one moment to the next! This tale of a young boy
who develops an erotic fixation associated with death (presumably caused by a
music box, no less) and grows up to intend to be a serial killer is a black
black comedy. As with other more famous Buñuel films,the consummation of each
act is always blocked. That is, there are foreshadowings of Exterminating
Angel, Discreet Charm, and especially Tristana (that...mannequin...leg!).
