This 1963 masterpiece by Luis Garcia Berlanga, beloved in Spain but too little seen elsewhere, threads a scathing critique of Franco-era values through a macabre farce about an undertaker who marries an executioner's daughter and reluctantly takes over her father's job so the family can keep their government-allotted apartment. The Executioner evaded the state censors who sought to suppress it and today is regarded as one of the greatest Spanish films of all time. This Criterion edition is a new 4K transfer with extra features including an interview with filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.
