Bunuel is fascinating. As you suggest his films can resonate depending on one's life experience. Viridiana is my wife's favorite film. We recommended it to friends years ago and they didn't get it.

We both remembered it to large degree, but it was still nice.

We used to love Bunuel a lot and watched pretty much everything he made, including the An Andalusian Dog. One of my all time favorites has been The Exterminating Angel.
- The Exterminating Angel has a strange attraction for me. I watch it about every five years or so. - PhilJ 21:37:23 05/11/25 (4)
  thumbs up from me.
  
  fwiw I watched Ikiru yesterday and it was not as sad as I remember (20 years ago) watching it. It was quite uplifting in the last 30 min. or so.
  
  It is another gem (of course)
  - Ikiru is one of the very few movies I was not able to get through - Victor Khomenko 04:32:28 05/12/25 (3)
    Maybe I was too young for it. :) Maybe if I was 80yo when I saw it the effect would be different. :) I just dunno...
    Maybe it is the time I should try again. ;)

        favorite scenes of Kurosawa's. It was enlightening to see them wake up to what happened. Even his dimwitted son eventually got it.
        
        I hope my words make sense and you enjoy it if you do decide to watch.
We watched the Beehive tonight - Victor Khomenko 18:15:34 05/10/25 (5)

  I'll put this on my list!
  - Just make sure you watch it uninterrupted - Victor Khomenko 14:32:14 05/11/25 (1)
    Some movies are OK to stop and start, this one should not be, in my view.
