在这部糊涂虫喜剧片中,西班牙电影大师路易斯·布努埃尔墨西哥时期的杰作,可看做是《黄金时代》等实验性较强的表现主义作品之后的有力回归。一部不可错过的天才喜剧!
Buñuel's first "comeback" film since "L'Age d'Or" in 1930 (he made only a few musicals in the interim), "El Gran Calavera" concerns a family's attempts to change the patriarch's somewhat indulgent and hedonistic ways by fooling him into thinking his large fortune is gone. They assume a life of poverty in Mexico in an attempt to teach him a lesson. However, he discovers it's a ruse, but continues to perpetuate the facade of ignorance while sneaking off during the day to conduct his thriving business. Why? To teach his family a lesson - they are all lazy, worthless leeches!
