Finally I got to see this notorious film. No more or less than what I expected, this, along with Tod Brownings 'Freaks' (1932) and of course Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' (1927) has to be among the most ground-breaking films of that early period of cinema medium. Each one of the three mentioned for different reasons, of course. Each one a masterpiece on its own right.
Very seldom do we see a film so old, but so fresh & provoking. This is the film *******SPOILERS, even though you probably know it!!***** with the infamous eye-cutting scene ***end of SPOILERS*** and boy, it is the real thing. Many striking images come in mind, most of all, I am glad that most people here do not try to intellectualise or explain as this would be useless. For what it is worth, this started Bunuel's thing, I have yet MANY of him to see. Sit back and enjoy!
