synopsis
A husband’s suave exterior unravels after his marriage, and he unleashes his paranoid and volatile temper on his wife, which escalates to ever more dangerous and unpredictable tantrums.
Released at the height of his prolific Mexican period, Él remains one of Luis Buñuel’s crowning achievements.
Slant Magazine
With eerie point-of-view shots, Buñuel gets inside the mind of a madman whose sadism is inseparable from his high social position; his commanding manner mirrors the folly and the cruelty of society at large.
The New Yorker
