I think this is one of Bunuel's best and most hilarious films. I saw it originally in the eighties at Cinema Village in NYC. It was in a packed house too. Very informed, nothing snobby about it, just a very funny film. And of course it's a touch surreal. If you're interested in religion, or perhaps the early history of the catholic church, check this one out. You'll laugh so much your sides will ache, your heart will pitter pat. One of my top ten desert island films. Highly recommended by ME! Now that it's on DVD there's no excuse to not see it. It almost made me want to 'do' a pilgrimage through Europe. Jesus laughed! Viva Bunuel!
