    3.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps only for admirers of Bunuel's films...
    Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2009

    Definitely not for everyone. In fact this one may be more appreciated by fans of Luis Bunuel's films in general. Watch this if you relate with his particular point of view. Quirky, humorous and very odd.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Satire!
    Reviewed in Canada on April 8, 2009
    I saw this movie a couple of years ago late on TV one summer night. It's a sharply witty satire, well-worth watching. I had to get a bootleg because Criterion had not yet released it. Highly recommended, although the price does seem steep for a considerably short film. I feel like for $5 more or something they could throw in another shorter Bunuel film. The film is interesting in that it attacks religious hypocrisy with an acidic tongue, but not just religion exclusively, but rather attitudes towards piety and temptation.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pole dancer or prophet?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Needless to say that this Criterion release is a delight for Bunuel fanatics like me. The quality of the transfer is fantastic as is the one hour documentary covering Bunuel's Mexican years. The short film itself exhibits Bunuel's fascination with religion as does the earlier Nazarin. In this case we have a man who decides to curry favour with God by standing on top of a column for year after year, occasionally "tormented" by the devil but resolute (or is he?). Other characters include local peasants, a religous order and a dwarf who is a bit too close to his animals (goat herder or goat botherer?). Suffice to say that most of the film is taken up with Simon and his pole, various dreams, the occasional miracle and religous intoxication. But it's the last five minutes that propels this film into another dimension (literally).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Short but interesting film.

    Shirt but wild film. It was not as absurdist as I thought it would be but it still has some crazy elements. The ending is sudden. Overall a really interesting film.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2013

    This has always been a great film, so it is encouraging to see it so well presented by Criterion. The two extras are fascinating with Silvia Pinel giving some extra information about how the film was so short.
