Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Modeling himself after the 4th century stoic St. Simon Stylites, a man stands on a pillar in the Mexican desert for six years, six weeks, and six days as an example to the peasants below, resisting temptations that Satan throws at him. A master of cinematic surrealism, Luis Buñuel was able to create this award-winning film despite the constraints of a tight budget and an abbreviated shooting schedule.
