A nerdy amateur entomologist goes to the seashore to look for a new species and is captured and held captive in a sandy prison, his only companion being a woman resigned to her fate.
To gain food and other necessities, the couple must work together in what appears to them is a nonsensical enterprise, the shoveling of sand.
I think this is a much cleverer evisceration of modern life than anything Bunuel ever did.
The new dvd is--- horrors!---the director's cut which I think ill-advisedly extends the film an additional 1/2 hour.
Still, it's not to be missed. The actor also stars in another vitriolic attack on society, "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" and is terrific.
(warning to grits: there are no car chases, barroom fights, explosions)
