Land Without Bread (1933)

** (out of 4)

Disappointing Luis Bunuel documentary about a remote village in Spain where civilization has hardly moved. Bunuel, in my opinion, makes the mistake of trying to be surrealistic when the film didn't need any of that. I found everything on screen was just overproduced and it really didn't mix well with the narration. For whatever the reason, I didn't care about what I was seeing and I didn't care about what I was listening to.

Having said that, all of Bunuel's work is worth viewing and discussing.
