The Milky Way (DVD)

The Milky Way (1969) starring Paul Frankeur, Laurent Terzieff. Two men on a religious pilgrimage through France find their faith put to the test by the zealots and apostates they meet along the way. Directed by Luis Bunuel, who delights in making fun of organized religion and hypocrisy. It's a mystifying film, and there's a good Extra on the disc which helps explain what it's all about. But in general, it will be of interest only to theologians and film historians. Grade: B-
