Luis Bunuel film?
Hope someone can answer this for me. It's driving me nuts...

Yesterday, for no apparent reason, I remembered a film I saw many years ago. It was the story of a man who got trapped in telephone box, and nobody could get him out. Eventually, a truck came along and took him and the phone box away. However, to his horror, they took him to a place that looked a bit like hell, where there were hundreds of other people trapped in telephone boxes.

Question, does anybody know the name or director of this film?

I have a feeling it's Bunuel, but I could be wrong.

Please help me. This not knowing is tormenting me!

Thanks

1. La Cabina (1972). A film by Antonio Mercero.
Took me a lil while to find it. Looks like a trippy film! I'd like to see it AND some Luis Bunuel films.

Thanks for the inspiration!

here's one link. But beware, there's a spoiler!

2. good work finding that one........
tried google and the imdb and gave up.

the trapped in the phone booth thing reminded me of the people "trapped" in the chateau in the "exterminating angel"

then the sheep ran in. was bunuel trying to tell us something?

"belle du jour" is another weird film.

What a superb film! I wonder if it's available on VHS or DVD?
