this be one of the first urreal film that i have see . phantom of liberty for the most part be quite a normal film with a structured narrative and some quite well defined character what make it brilliant be the fact that one minute and it just a normal film and then a scene where a family sit at a table on toilet seat be throw at u . follow by each family member come to another room to eat on their own . distort reality . weird . some part of the film be so absurd they be funny . such a an early scene where some parent look at picture and deem them wouldisgusting when they be just picture of building . it very strange and humorous in general . the be minimal cut in the camera work and shot flow together nicely . for example a two shot may not cut to an over the shoulder shot and but just adjust to it . a technique which i like . i find this film to be quite oddly lit . be often dark and light be use kind of sparingly . odd and a the film sometimes almost look like shade of grey through it darkness . i be guess that the criterion version be the way to go and i saw a version tap from tv about 6 year ago and which be at time fuzzy and grainy . anyway and to sum up . a mad film that defy logic and be funny and shock and engage to the last perfect frame . highly recommended .
