The Phantom of Ligerty. Bourgeois convention is demolished in this surrealist gem. Featuring an elegant soiree with guests seated at toilet bowls, poker-playing monks using religious medals as chips, and police officers looking for a missing girl who is right under their noses, this perverse, playfully absurd comedy of non sequiturs deftly compiles many of the themes that preoccupied Buñuel throughout his career—from the hypocrisy of conventional morality to the arbitrariness of social arrangements.
The Phantom of Liberty is one of the most audacious and unconventional films in cinema history. Directed by Luis Buñuel, The Phantom of Liberty may very well be the most accomplished, ambitious and surrealist work of his 54-year film career. Indeed, this is a film that comprehensively challenges traditional narrative conventions. At the same time, the film deals with a variety of transgressive subjects and presents an intense criticism against established social institutions. It is a complex, paradoxical, subversive and radical film, which has promoted endless debates and encouraged a variety of readings.
A devoted surrealist, Buñuel acknowledged in his films the presence of potent subconscious forces, of a violent and sexual nature, that reside inside all human beings. His films, and in particular The Phantom of Liberty, show how these forces, which represent the true human nature, are repressed by moral, religious and social codes. In The Phantom of Liberty, there are virtually no social institutions left untouched by Buñuel's ironic and surreal criticisms. The police and the schoolteachers fail to notice an allegedly missing girl, who is directly in front of them all the time. Some religious monks play a game of cards and they wager with an assortment of religious artifacts. The army is engaged in hunting foxes, using an armored tank. A physician offers a cigarette to a patient whom he had just diagnosed with pulmonary cancer. The judicial system leaves a mass murderer free. Finally, the bourgeoisie is portrayed as fetishistic, incestuous and ultimately so far removed from reality that they suffer bizarre hallucinations. In Buñuel's surrealist world, society is comprised of irrational, oppressing and decadent institutions.
The Phantom of Liberty is an extremely complex film. It has more than 60 speaking parts and features characters from two historical periods (the Napoleonic Wars to the present day). It deals with a variety of transgressive themes such as fetishism, necrophilia, incest, mass murder, sadomasochism, and pedophilia. No less important, this film relies on a variety of storytelling devices and narrative forms, such as narrative painting, the gothic tale, the incest story, the letter, the dream, the flashback, the omniscient narrator, and the horizontal wipe.
Nevertheless, the most striking feature of The Phantom of Liberty is its unconventional narrative structure. The film comprises roughly 12 distinctive episodes with separate protagonists. These episodes are linked together in a unique way. For example, the film opens with some events that take place at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Then, we discover that a nanny is reading these events from a book. The nanny works for a bourgeois gentleman's family, who is having hallucinatory dreams. He in turn, goes to see the doctor, whose nurse has to go to see her dying father. On the nurse's way to her father's home, she encounters other characters and the storyline continues like this until the very end. The Phantom of Liberty resembles a relay race, where the narrative's center of attention is passed, baton-like, from a character in one sequence to a character in the next.
The characters in The Phantom of Liberty seem to be completely free, and it is this unbound independence that leads to an irrational society, comprised of oppressing and decadent institutions. These institutions, in turn, obliterate the apparent freedom of the characters. Paradoxically, the characters' unrestrained freedom ends up enslaving them. Consequently, freedom is presented as a concept as absurd and surrealistic as the images presented in the film. The Phantom of Liberty is a very complex film, rich in detail and symbolism. The surrealist images range from the comical to the profane, from the rational to the absurd, and from the ambiguous to the poetic. The film questions our perception of freedom. However, as with all great artists, Buñuel did not provide any answers, he just posed the questions. This film is likely to leave the viewer in doubt, thinking about its meaning and trying to decipher its intricate iconography. As with many great films, The Phantom of Liberty stays with the viewer long after its ending.
Essay: "The Serpentine Movements of Chance", by Gary Indiana
El fantasma de la libertad. Collage de gags enlazados por situaciones cotidianas. La más desordenada e incoherente de la trilogía francesa final. Divertimento sobre el azar en el que se dan cita multitud de ideas antiguas de su autor. “En alguna parte, entre el azar y el misterio, se desliza la imaginación, libertad total del hombre”, dice Buñuel en sus memorias, ampliando su convencimiento de que el ser humano no es libre para actuar, sino que depende de la casualidad.
Serie de viñetas entrelazadas por un personaje o una situación que conecta una historia con la siguiente. Unos soldados franceses entran a la catedral de Toledo durante la invasión napoleónica. Un capitán besa la estatua de una mujer y destruye la de un hombre. En la época actual, un matrimonio se escandaliza con unas postales que muestran monumentos de París. Un hombre ve pasar unos animales por su cuarto. En una escuela de policías, un gendarme dicta una lección sobre las distintas costumbres antropológicas. Un asesino es dejado en libertad después de matar a 18 personas. Una multitud furiosa asalta un zoológico gritando lemas de la resistencia anti-napoleónica, mientras un avestruz mira directamente al espectador.
