In his autobiography "The Last Sigh", Buñuel suggests that "The Milky Way", "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", and "The Phantom of Liberty" form a kind of trilogy or rather a triptych. All three have the same themes, sometimes even the same grammar; and all evoke the search for truth, as well as the necessity of abandoning it as soon as you've found it.

Religious pilgrims Pierre and Jean journey to a shrine in the north of Spain. Their faith is severely tested by some of the irrelevant characters they confront in the course of their pilgrimage. Even chance meetings with Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Devil are not quite what Pierre and Jean have been prepared for in their religious training.

One of the most challenging and irreverent of the director's later works, "The Milky Way" also continues Buñuel's ongoing disdain of Roman Catholicism. Funny, intelligent and sardonic, its availability will be justly celebrated by Buñuel enthusiasts. (Verlagstext)
