The pediatrician decided he had an allergy to milk. Then, at 9 months, he couldn't crawl or sit up. The diagnosis this time was hypotonia, a vague term that basically means...
Suleiman explains that viewers revolted by the violence of the image are not alone: Buñuel himself claimed to feel sick for a week afterwards despite the fact that the eye was not actually a human one, but rather a calf’s eye he had bought specially for the film.
