Summary: From case cover: Religious pilgrims Pierre (Paul Frankeur) and Jean (Laurent Terzieff) journey to a shrine in the north of Spain. Their faith is severely tested by some of the irreverent 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. From IMDb: Two drifters go on a pilgrimage from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Along the way, they hitchhike, beg for food, and face the Christian dogmas and heresies from different Ages.
