Buñuel’s The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz
Spanish director Luis Buñuel satirized middle-class social conventions and Catholic morality in La vida criminal de Archibaldo de la Cruz (The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz, 1955). Because of an early childhood trauma, Archibaldo is obsessed with an urge to kill the women he meets but is never able to do so. Buñuel was a master in probing the taboos and obsessions of contemporary society, with a particular focus on religion and sexuality.
