The Phantom of Liberty
Le Fantôme de la liberté (original)
Bourgeois convention is demolished in Luis Buñuel’s surrealist gem THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY. Featuring an elegant soiree with guests seated at toilet bowls, poker-playing monks using religious medals as chips, and police officers looking for a missing girl who is right under their noses, this perverse, playfully absurd comedy of non sequiturs deftly compiles many of the themes that preoccupied Buñuel throughout his career—from the hypocrisy of conventional morality to the arbitrariness of social arrangements.
Starring Adriana Asti, Milena Vukotić, Jean-Claude Brialy, Monica Vitti, Jean Rochefort, Michel Piccoli, Adolfo Celi, Claude Piéplu, Paul Frankeur, Pierre Maguelon
