Death in the Garden (DVD)
Directed by Luis Buñuel
Simone Signoret
Charles Vanel
Death in the Garden (1956) is one of Luis Buñuel’s (Belle de Jour, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) most underrated films, a delirious descent into the heart of darkness. A revolt has erupted in a mining town in the Amazon. As a result, a group of men and women are forced to take refuge in the virgin forest under the supervision of an adventurer called Chark (Georges Marchal). Djin (Simone Signoret), a prostitute, Castin (Charles Vanel), a mystic, his deaf and dumb daughter María (Michèle Girardon), and a missionary called Lizardi (Michel Piccoli) will have to confront thirst, fear, wild animals and insects in order to survive.
DVD Extras Include:
Audio commentary by film critic Samm Deighan | Booklet essay by film critic Peter Tonguette | Interview with film critic Tony Rayns | Trailers
