Honeycomb – as
La Madriguera was called in English – is a Buñuelian satire of absurdity that skewers bourgeois marriage and role-playing. There are sequences that feel like the Genet of
Les Bonnes and Saura's film is also quite obviously indebted to Buñuel and to surrealism more generally. It's a weird movie about the dissolution of a marriage, and I can't say I really enjoyed it, although it's always great to see Geraldine Chaplin, and Per Oscarsson is very good too. But... I think Saura's later film
Mama Cumplé 100 Años is much funnier.
