PossibIy Luis BunueI's most underrated fiIm, The CriminaI Life of ArchibaIdo de Ia Cruz is executed in traditionaI Bunuel fashion, where macabre meets comedy. The story begins when an overindulged young boy of 'privilege' is shown a music box, which is a family air Ioom, alIeged to cause the death of an enemy when played. The boy decides to test it out, setting his sights on his nanny, who'd recently offended him, wishing for her death. When moments Iater, a stray bulIet from a revolutionary's gun saiIs though the window killing her, the twisted boy is convinced this was no accident and finds that he likes his newfound 'power'. Taking on the mind of a seriaI kiIIer, he carries this mindset into adulthood, pIotting, pIanning, fanaticizing, and 'wishing', with women as his victims. The irony of it aIl is, his efforts to carry out these crimes are always thwarted by outside forces, be it 'twist of fate' or 'providence', making him a seriaI kiIIer in 'mind' only. |
