Simon of the Desert Blu-ray
'Simon of the Desert' Director: Luis Buñuel (1965) Radiance Blu-ray | 4K restoration | Spanish w/ English subtitles
A typically outrageous and provocative commentary on organised religion from Luis Buñuel, presenting the parable of Simon - the would-be saint who leads an ascetic life at the top of a succession of pillars of varying height, while being continually tested with visits from a seductive incarnation of the Devil, memorably played by Silvia Pinal (Viridiana).
A short film with a significant punch, stunning desert cinematography from Gabriel Figueroa, and an unforgettably bizarre ending.
Special features include:
- Appreciation by filmmaker Richard Ayoade
- Visual essay on Buñuel in Mexico by Abraham Castillo Flores
- Buñuel: A Surrealist Filmmaker (2021, 84 mins): feature-length documentary directed by Javier Espada on Buñuel's life and career
