Does anybody know how many versions there are of this Bunuel film? "Experimental Ethnography" says that the one on videotape in the US (from a public domain company) has "toned down" narration but judging from the quotes she uses--presumably from a MOMA print that's listed in the filmography--the video actually has a better version. She also mentions maps that aren't on that video release. The Bunuel books are all only partly helpful; I can't even determine whether it was originally released in French or Spanish. (The first screening was in Spain with Bunuel providing live narration but a release print wasn't prepared until four years later.) And do any of the prints have the cockfight that French censors supposedly cut out? While it sounds plausible the mention of this in the books sounds more like urban legend territory. One author mentions four reels of outtakes and the archive where they're stored but none of the writers seems to have looked at them or even asked to find out what they contain.
