Luis Buñuel-Las Hurdes (1932) (Reupload)

A surrealistic documentary portrait of the region of Las Hurdes, a remote region of Spain where civilisation has barely developed, showing how the local peasants try to survive without even the most basic utilities and skills (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023037/)
The region of Las Hurdes, not far from Salamanca, is largely cut off from the rest of the world. To reach Las Hurdes, it is necessary to travel through the town of La Alberca, which itself has some unusual sights and customs. The Hurdanos themselves live in several dozen villages in the nearby mountains, near a valley that contains the ruins of a convent. The lifestyle of the Hurdanos is so primitive that, until fairly recently, even bread was unknown to them. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023037/plotsummary)



Las Hurdes(1932) is anti Franco film that tears through the heart of the viewer watching it. Shows sequences of poverty that were controversial in 1932 and way ahead of its time. Follows in the same surral footsteps as Un Chien Andalou(1929), and L'Age D'OR(1931). A darling effort from the great Luis Bunuel. There will never be anything like a film in the nature of Las Hurdes(1932). (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023037/usercomments)



Las Hurdes is one of the most disturbing, and most hilarious, films ever, and was so far ahead of its time that modern flirtations with the absurd and with black comedy pale in comparison. Ostensibly a documentary, it gradually betrays its subversiveness and we understand that it is a manufactured reality. In a memorably cruel moment, a goat tumbles off the side of a steep slope it is climbing after the narrator describes the precariousness of its climb. The puff of smoke that appears in frame just before the goat falls tells us that the goat had some help from the film crew in falling off the cliff. This film is brilliant and depraved and will either have you laughing hysterically or feeling rather upset, or possibly both. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0023037/usercomments)
