Death in the Garden is a spotty movie with an uneven flow that drags at the beginning and picks up interest half way through. The last half of the movie grabs the viewer and has some beautiful moments. The lead role played by Georges Marchal and the priest, Michel Piccoli, were played well and and their interactions brought the viewer through any tedious scenes. Overall, both the local hooker and the deaf-mute daughter of the miner were uninteresting and Luis Buñuel was unable to portray much beauty in their roles.
