Le fantôme de la liberté

Le Fantôme de la liberté is an Italian-French film from 1974, directed by Luis Buñuel. Buñuel also wrote the screenplay of the film, along with Jean-Claude Carrière. The screenplay is based on a story by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. The title is derived from the first sentence of the manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

The film consists of a number of unconnected surreal scenes and is often considered a satirical criticism of Buñuel on the social conventions and on the inaccessibility of the true freedom.
