He was great. Both him and the female lead were oddly believable as a couple (one of the reasons the sex scene made me laugh because it was so unsexy/realistic) and did their parts well. This is ignoring all the things that obviously complicate it.

One of the most popular "arthouse" films of all time--so it doesn't really need me to come in here saying how great it is but--what a fucking film! It's funny, the more Bunuel I watch the more I realize how pervasive his influence on cinema has been. I initially associated him as an influence on the big-name decidedly weird directors like Jodoworsky and Lynch (Bunuel is a huge influence for both), but watching more you see just how much impact Bunuel has had on modern cinema as a whole, not just the niche weird stuff. Anyway...brilliant surrealist satire. |

My favorite is Husbands, but I don't know that that would be my recommendation for a first film. I'd say start with The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, it's an unconventional neo-noir gangster film with the Cassavetes twist. I think you'd like it.
