Movies Watched -- Simon of the Desert (1965)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In Spanish. 45 minute running time so wonderfully short. I don’t know anything about Luis Buñuel, but he was clearly a funny guy, a real smartass … this movie is irreverent, maybe even sacrilegious, but it’s also hilarious. Bad boy Buñuel, what a prankster, I enjoyed this …

I watched this because only one guest of the Criterion Closet (Asif Kapadia) picked it … Kapadia also recommended Investigation of a Citizen Beyond Suspicion, which was also good.

Rating: 4, you should see it, esp. with a 45 minute running time.

The devil roams this wilderness. I hear him in the night.
