Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles

Paris, 1930. The infamous surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel is left penniless after the scandalous release of L’Age d’Or leads to a falling out with collaborator Salvador Dalí. On a whim, Buñuel’s good friend, sculptor Ramón Acín, buys a lottery ticket and promises to devote his winnings to fund Buñuel’s next film. Incredibly, Ramón wins the jackpot, sending the two friends to the remote mountains to film Land without Bread.

Nothing has come close to capturing the essence of Buñuel’s life and work during that period as Salvador Simó’s astonishing new film, a wonderfully crafted, colorful, surreal, and provocative film.
