Title: Half-Right
Review: It is unfortunate that politically Bunuel could only see the evils of Fascism, ignoring the Siamese twin of Socialism. For artists, maybe even artists of today, Socialism seems to offer hope for mankind, a paradise for the movie-going proletariat, but understand, though only half right, this political film is cinema as good as any Serge Einstein.All this talk we hear in America of suave French sexes and their smooth, sophisticated approach to natural forces, after viewing Bunuel many times, Truffaut and Goddard as well, I say phsaw! The French of all classes seem to skip dating and go right to groping or raping. The brash male demands favors and the demur Jean Moreau merely nods her head, manipulating men without passion. The raped child or servant, hey that's real sex - I guess. The kindest man in the film is senile and a foot fetishist. You get the idea: French society is rotten to the core and in the 1930's blindly charging towards Jew killing and goose-stepping. That's half-right.
