Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz Blu-ray

'The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz' Director Luis Buñuel (1955) Second Run Blu-ray | 4K restoration | Spanish w/ English subtitles

A reawakened childhood memory convinces the rich, cultured Archibaldo that he is able to cause the death of others. But his murderous impulses are frustrated at every turn, driving him to find ever more inventive ways to fulfil his desires.

A key work of his Mexican period, Buñuel's gloriously twisted and darkly comic psychodrama anticipates his later works with an ambigious tale of erotic obsession.

- Visual essay by film historian David Wilt
