Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
An almost magical example of how an artist of genius can take someone else's classic work and shape it to fit his own temperament without really violating it.

rotten:
Bunuel's low-budget melodrama has a certain gothic ferocity that's missing in the other versions; the results are mixed, but seldom unworthy of the master.
