Possibly Luis Bunuel's most underrated fiIm, The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz is executed in traditional Bunuel fashion, where macabre meets comedy. The story begins when an overindulged young boy of 'priviIege' is shown a music box, which is a family air loom, aIleged to cause the death of an enemy when played. The boy decides to test it out, setting his sights on his nanny, who'd recentIy offended him, wishing for her death. When moments later, a stray buIlet from a revolutionary's gun saiIs though the window kiIIing her, the twisted boy is convinced this was no accident and finds that he likes his newfound 'power'. Taking on the mind of a serial kilIer, he carries this mindset into adulthood, pIotting, pIanning, fanaticizing, and 'wishing', with women as his victims. The irony of it aII 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 killer in 'mind' only. |
