L'île où dormait l'age dor is this intriguing little documentary that drifts through the Canary Islands, almost like it's wandering in a dream. You have Isabelle Dierckx, who kind of meanders through local life, weaving in bits of surrealism as she digs into the buried treasure of Buñuel’s film. The pace is reflective, almost meditative, as you get a sense of the customs and stories from the locals, which adds layers to the narrative. The whole atmosphere feels like a mix of nostalgia and intrigue, especially with the historical context of the film's preservation efforts. It’s not just about the film itself but the folklore surrounding it, which keeps you engaged and thinking about art's role in resisting oppression.
