Buñuel and Dali’s second collaboration chronicles a couple's struggles to consummate their impulsive mutual desire in the face of an endless array of obstacles coming their way from the authorities, bourgeois society and the Church. At the time of its release, the film was widely (and rightly) deemed outrageous, with fanatics going so far as to hurl stink bombs and ink at the screen. It remains perhaps the cinema’s greatest ode to surrealism and a veritable checklist of the obsessions that would mark the rest of Buñuel’s career.
