Elvis D Este documental se destaca por las fuertes escenas de la extrema pobreza de aquella época en que fue rodada a un nivel que hoy no es diferente a lo que vemos en las noticias, pero que en aquella época era algo bastante turbio. Luis lleva a espectador en un recorrido por las tierras montañosas donde se puede contemplar a un poblado muy pobre viviendo en la miseria. Muchas de las imágenes llegan a ser algo fuertes y crudas si se las ve con los ojos de aquel entonces. Se trata de un material de estudio antropológico de parte de la expedición de Buñuel y acaba siendo un interesante material de índole histórica. Yo considero que este documental funciona bien como un documento histórico al igual que las primeras películas de Luis Buñuel y por eso le doy un 8/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Eitan D A rare documentary about European area that lived like in the middle ages just before WWII. I found it a prime example of what the church does- it constructs great buildings for their "god" but keeps the population in their ignorance because it keeps them deeply religious. The life of these people was miserable and short, very sorrow look at how people lived so little while ago, gives one a good perspective at how good our life is now Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/21 Full Review William L Movies today: "No animals were harmed in the making of this film." Buñuel: "Y'know what? I really fucking hate goats." I realize that Buñuel intended the content of Land Without Bread as a political statement, a critique of the medium, propaganda, and the new Spanish government, but it's deliberately dishonest and presents itself as fact to deceive the viewer. Displays few of the skills that the acclaimed director leveraged to establish his international reputation. Some call it a particularly early and dry example of a mockumentary, but it seems more like a thinly disguised political hit piece that, regardless of intention, is aimed to be deceptive. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/21 Full Review s r 1001 movies to see before you die. A short and powerful film.

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A classic documentary from surrealist filmmaker Luis Bunuel, that is disturbing and highly interesting, although it feels a bit longer than a 30 minute film should...
