Sep 29, 2015 7.6 [Luis Buñuel] [Mx] See more Aug 7, 2014 Too slight and conventional to be considered among Buñuel's best (as with most of his 50s films from Mexico), but it certainly has it's strong moments. See more Jan 29, 2012 Si no hubiera visto los creditos, no creeria que Luis Buñuel es el director. Nada que ver con el osado y surrealista cineasta que conocemos. See more Apr 13, 2008 The story of the town river is an allegory of life, follow the Styx symbol. In the final we find that there, the words are like bullets. The recollection cover the most part of the movie, and this recollection is made good, without any sudden elements. The story itself is linear and fairly straight-forward See more Jan 1, 2008 La violencia irracional desatada por una tradición absurda, el honor vacuo y la ignorancia como fuente de todos los males son el eje vertebrador de esta espléndida película, en la que puede ser una de las mejores películas de la etapa Mejicana de Buñuel. Quizá su estructura a base de flashbacks sea su principal inconveniente, pero la historia se sostiene aun así con fuerza. See more Apr 6, 2007 Stories like this abounded in Mexico even before the 50s started. Despite being the typical revenge plot depicting the ancient life of rural Mexico, Buñuel's adaptation to Mexico's customs was beginning to adopt a form. 74/100 See more Read all reviews
