Audience Member 7.6 [Luis Buñuel] [Mx] Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
