One of the most disturbingly hysterical films I've ever seen, Las Hurdes is Luis Bunuel's "documentary" about the people in a poor third world country. It's amazing how far ahead of its time this film was; before the concept of the mock documentary was even thought of in the U.S., this film had been around for years. I won't say too much about it, other than the scenes with the dying infant and the goat falling off the cliff are two of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's a very dark comedy, you see....if you can find it, check it out.
