The Milky Way
Directed by Luis Buñuel
Produced by Fraia Film, Greenwich Film Production
A surrealist pilgrimage through Spain that uses bizarre encounters and religious imagery to interrogate faith, desire, and the absurdity of spiritual seeking.
Two men, part tramp, part pilgrim, are on their way from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. On their way, they meet a vast assortment of characters—some truculent, some violent, and some bizarre; they experience many adventures—some mysterious, some erotic, some even supernatural.
