A mexican film reminiscent of some of Luis Bunuel's work

Los Perros de Dios, The Dogs of God, is a deeply symbolic, deeply allegorical film look at Mexican life. You get the feeling that the director tried his best to make this a serious film, but with so many outlandish visions junxtaposed with a somber plot, you can't help but laugh.

This film reminded me of Luis Bunuel's work especially "Un Chien Andalou","The Phantoms of Liberty", and "L'Age D'or". I'm not sure where you can obtain of copy of it, the only reason that I saw it was that it happened to be a late-night film on Univision, the spanish-language channel in the USA.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
