A husband's suave exterior unravels after his marriage, and he unleashes his paranoid and volatile temper on his wife, which escalates to ever more dangerous and unpredictable tantrums.
« Released at the height of his prolific Mexican period, Él remains one of Luis Buñuel’s crowning achievements. » (Slant Magazine)
« With eerie point-of-view shots, Buñuel gets inside the mind of a madman whose sadism is inseparable from his high social position; his commanding manner mirrors the folly and the cruelty of society at large. » (The New Yorker)
