I love The Milky Way. It's pythonesque- as are many of the later films- but I guess that's the wrong way round and we should really be calling the Python team, Bunuelian.
I didn't get Bunuel at all when I was a kid. I thought of him as a less operatic Fellini, but that's entirely wrong. They're two very different directors. Bunuel is all impassioned intelligence- low-key, acidic, Swiftian. The older I get, the more I love him.
