It seems that it is indeed biased to classify Buñuel as a radical group of surrealism. With the
exception of "An Andalusian Dog", Buñuel actually slowly gave up the principles of surrealism, and gradually formed own style.
In my opinion, "The Handmaid's Diary" is really a very normal film. You can see the shadow of Buñuel's personality, but it does not keep the audience from thousands of miles away. This point, I have been from the first scene. felt it.
Don't assume that just because of his close relationship with Dalí, Buñuel must also be a firm believer in Surrealism.
Don't think that Buñuel is an out-and-out eccentric just because he has a "An Andalusian Dog", each of his films must also have a deep and incomprehensible quality, imposing a lot of esoteric meanings on the film.
An example given by Tarkovsky is:
"At the end of "Give Ana Jagaya a Husband," De Santis has the male and female protagonists stand at opposite ends of an iron door, and the The door made it clear: Now that the couple has parted ways, there is no longer any chance of happiness or connection. In this way, a specific, unique, and human event becomes a cliché because the adoption of the With such a popular expression, the audience immediately understands the author's intention. The problem is that many audiences like this kind of sudden realization, so they feel safe: it does not excite them, the concept is clear at a glance, and they don't need to worry about it at all. You don't have to see anything special on the screen. The taste of the audience is so destroyed, the same gates, fences, fences are repeated over and over again in many films, and they all symbolize the same meaning. "
