Conceived by Luis Buñuel with screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière, The Milky Way is a rambling journey of two pilgrims traveling from France to Spain, along the path to Camino de Santiago, the holy resting place of St. James. 

“Mike Nichols said he thought of Buñuel everyday. So do I! His stream-of-consciousness seems to be an endless source of mesmerizing and comical poetry. He had anarchy deep in his personality. The Buñuel tone is somehow always exquisite and perfectly right. Catholicism is woven into the threads of every tapestry.” – Wes Anderson

In their fourth collaboration, Director Jules Dassin and actress Melina Mercouri, the icon of Greek cinema, reimagine Euripides’ Hippolytus in the high society world of an early 1960s shipping magnate.

“A strange and dark story of romantic doom set in the Onassis/Niarchos over-world.” – Wes Anderson
