Like many of Bunuel's Mexican films DEATH IN THE GARDEN works at once as a commercial genre picture and as a clandestine act of social subversion.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Signoret's frenzy becomes her character's, enervating an otherwise humdrum melodrama. Full Review

Rating: B -- Luis Bunuel's rarely seen "Death in the Garden" (1955) is a survivalist suspense film with a subtle dose of political and religious commentary. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Death in the Garden is a kind of halfway house for the film genius, made when he had yet to receive the acclaim that would give him full control of his movies, but after he had been taken seriously enough by the money men.

... a wonderfully cynical thriller filled with brilliant Bunuelian flourishes and a grim sense of futility. Full Review
