The Milky Way (1969)
2/10
Unfunny and Boring Mess
12 October 2011
The drifters Pierre (Paul Frankeur) and Jean (Laurent Terzieff) pilgrimage from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain hitchhiking and begging for food. Along their journey, they face the Christian dogmas and heresies from different Ages.

I have seen most of Buñuel films and this director is among my favorites. The master of the surrealism uses Catholic symbols in his films fruit of his strict religious education among the Jesuits. Unfortunately "La Voie Lactée" is an unfunny and boring mess since I can not laugh with jokes with any religion. For me, this is the worst film of Buñuel's filmography so far. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Via Láctea" ("Milky Way")
