Larger ImageLuis Buñuel one of the most influential directors ever, his films changed the way people view cinema and yet his work is woefully under-represented on DVD…until now. Groundbreaking label Mr Bongo Films is delighted to announce the release one of Buñuel’s earlier works, The Brute.
Luis Buñuel - The Brute
The Brute aka El Bruto is a bold, brutal and blistering melodrama starring two of Mexico’s finest actors, and is the highlight of Buñuel’s Mexican period.
A brutal landlord hires a powerfully built but simple minded slaughterhouse worker (Pedro Armandariz – Maria Candelaria, Three Godfathers) to evict unwanted tenants, but things soon get complicated when he falls for the landlord’s seductive wife played by award-winning actress Katy Jurado (Broken Lance, High Noon).
