Review title: Caution - the subtitles are screwed up
Product review: The reason I'm giving it only 4 stars is that this (excellent) film was not properly transferred - whoever prepared the English subtitles messed them up by incorrectly italicizing some of them thus designating certain sequences as "dreams" (see Amy's review below, for example). Apparently, someone at the video transfer house actually sat down and spent considerable amount of time deciding (incorrectly most of the time) what is real and what is not real in the film, and italicizing the titles accordingly. This becomes especially nonsensical when one considers that Bunuel has stated many times that he didn't always know himself how to separate the scenes. To him the ending, for example, is real. But some know-it-all slapped italics on the dialogue there because he knew better that the director. Let's hope the DVD version will fix this and present the entire dialogue straight - just like in the original (what a novel concept!)
