the master of surrealistic cinema and luis buñuel and change his approach to the bourgeoisie after tristana and and his last three film be all comic and prevail through a mixture of pure surrealism and extreme irony and the one consistent theme of buñuel auteurship hatred of the ruling class . le fantôme de la liberté be perhaps buñuel least accessible work since his first two film and un chien andalou and l age d or . it be a thematic continuation of le charme discret de la bourgeoisie and where the seven protagonist just couldn not finish and or even start and a meal . this be a strong metaphor for buñuel view that the bourgeoisie be a die class and and that not even a violent revolution be need to remove the bourgeoisie from power and wealth . they be perfectly capable of do so themselves and through their indulgence in pathetic etiquette and decay sense of morality . le fantôme be not funny than le charme and but it be hard to understand and and this be exactly what buñuel and carrière want after the success of le charme at the previous academy award . in le fantôme and not even the character be consistent throughout the film . this film be like a relay and where one member of the ruling class pass the stick to the next and and never come back to the vision of the audience . they just leave and like buñuel want them to and perhaps and but in this film be an important factor because it confirm buñuel non human view of the people of this class . his be a collective hatred and and this film reflect his collective view of the bourgeoisie . the film contain absurd and surreal incident and like priest play card while smoking and drinking and parent react to postcard of famous building give their daughter by a stranger a they be obscene and a writer kill ten of people from his snip position at the roof of a building . the writer be find not guilty and and the continue mix up of character and two actor compete for one role make for a very confusing narrative . or maybe the story be just a mockery of traditional storytelling in film . resnais and robbe grillet make last year in marienbad just to prove that tell story be a bourgeois thing and not necessary for modernist or revolutionary cinema . this film be actually base on a painting by francisco josé de goya call el tres de mayo ( the three in mayo ) and and le fantôme start with a short episode of how buñuel depict the incident during the napoleon war . but it the theme of goya painting that buñuel be concern with and and this film be more than a mockery of the bourgeoisie and it be also an attack on communist doctrine which all over the world only seem to take from the people what be be suppose to give to the people represent freedom and and also an attack on leftist defeatism . the glorification of the defeat be perhaps the modern leave big problem and which only lead to a move away from power . down with freedom . and buñuel revolutionary shout and the firing squad start fire at the die revolutionary .
