The Phantom of Liberty Plot and Cast
Referencing the Communist Manifesto in its title, this Surrealist work by Luis Buñuel assembles brief incidents drawn from his own life. The loosely connected, intersecting situations unfold as chance encounters from the 19th century to the 1970s, with no steady protagonist. Along the way, the film briefly addresses execution, pedophilia, incest, and sex, and includes a range of characters such as a sick father and incompetent police officers.
