Gorgeous high-contrast 16mm film stock, combined with a highly evocative soundtrack that ostensibly defies understanding through ratiocination. At times, this masterpiece makes some of Godard's playfulness with cinematic form seem, I daresay, 'vapid' in comparison. One of the most subversive, politically-charged allegorical achievements in Cinema. A true revelatory experience - but DEFINITELY NOT for everyone.

A film that both de-mythologizes filmmaking, but which also keeps the myths and the mystery behind it. Startlingly beautiful, the film creates a landscape of image and sound that collide in often funny, and yet always useful, ways. This is one fascinating document. Savvy

Funny, haunting, inspired, exciting. One of those films that widens your understanding of what the medium is capable of.

The film is a great example of how quietness can build tone better than sound or even dialog; much of the exposition is delivered by title cards and thank god as the boring explanations given would destroy the movie with their banality if delivered any other way.

Extrania, hipnotica, incomprensible, fascinante. Ojala se hicieran mas "behind the scenes" en esta tonica.

great postmodern approach to the genre with the plus of a political twist (in the form of a metaphor) quite obscure to non spanish people from de franquism dark era. absolutely marvelous use of the sound and breathtaking high-contrast b/w photography. thirst for portabella creations!
