Penelope Gilliatt The New Yorker Guernica is a hard-knuckled piece of work. Arrabal is quite deliberate in his use of shock, both dramatic and historical. Mar 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Fernando Arrabal continues his depiction of the Spanish Civil War; much more cohesive than his 1971 film Viva La Muerte but still just as graphic and violent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit too weird and propagandic for me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is fucking awesome crazy goodtime, and if you disagree then you are retarded and i hate you Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A combination of Luis Bunuel's absurdity and his attack on the usual class and organized religion enemies, with Alejandro Jodorowsky's freakish subversive imageries. Within the Spanish Civil War setting, the violence is balanced with a love story that is then linked to hope amidst the destruction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best film out of the three surreal films by Fernando Arrabal it is well made and a good yet disturbing watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Arrabal's style. It's so captivating. You'll find scenes in his films that are shocking, yet at the same time so poetic, and his use of music fits so well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
