"Another running theme in this list is the films that challenged my notion of what I thought a film could be. This is one of them. It was my intro to Buñuel. When the couples are trying to have dinner and the wall goes up and it’s a curtain and they are on stage and the stage manager starts prompting them with lines, I absolutely lost it."
