Two bourgeois lovers (Lya Lys and Gaston Modot) constantly find that their lovemaking is being interrupted. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Once-daring avant-garde film full of surreal , sexual and anti-clerical images. Audiences pelted the screen with ink and stink-bombs at its first Paris screening and got it banned in France until 1979, so of course it has been hailed as a classic. Actually, it's pretty puerile. |
"It is LOVE that brings about the transition from pessimism to action: Love, denounced in the bourgeois demonology as the root of all evil. For love demands the sacrifice of every other value: status, family, and honor." | (Bunuel & Dali, in the programme which accompanied the first screening of the film)
