About This Movie

The Phantom of Liberty is a 1974 comedy film directed by Luis Buñuel. Its leading cast includes Jean-Claude Brialy, Adriana Asti and Milena Vukotić. It runs for 1 hour 44 minutes. Its original language is French.

Synopsis

This Surrealist film, with a title referencing the Communist Manifesto, strings together short incidents based on the life of director Luis Buñuel. Presented as chance encounters, these loosely related, intersecting situations, all without a consistent protagonist, reach from the 19th century to the 1970s. Touching briefly on subjects such as execution, pedophilia, incest, and sex, the film features an array of characters, including a sick father and incompetent police officers.
