- Summary:
- "Luis Buñuel's only documentary, Land without bread (Las Hurdes) is a subversive exploration of an isolated region of Spain too barren to sustain life and the backward struggle of its inhabitants to survive. Shot as a travelogue, what surfaces is an unflinching attack on any establishment that would turn a blind eye to such a pocket of misery. Mixing cold scientific examination with absurdity and tragedy, Land without bread answers the mystifying question of whether one can make a Surrealist documentary, and with Buñuel the answer is yes"--Container.
- "Land Without Bread," also entitled "The unpromised Land," documents the poverty and primitive lifestyle of the Aurdanos, who live in the rocky, barren mountains of Spain. "Housing Problems", an early sound documentory classic. It explores the horrors and evils of British urban housing in the 1930's through unrehearsed interviews with slum dwellers who discuss their housing conditions.
