Made near the end of Buñuel's career, it's not his greatest movie, but it contains some of his most memorable moments.

Drama
In this surrealist film, loosely related intersecting situations, all without a consistent protagonist, reach from the 19th century to the 1970s. Touching briefly on subjects such as execution, mass murder, parenting, and sex, the film features an array of characters, including a sick father and incompetent police officers.

TV Guide Magazine by Staff (Not Credited)
A crazy, subversively funny film about convention-bound characters who have a hard time dealing with sexuality and freedom.

Village Voice by Jessica Winter
Albeit scattershot, Phantom does cohere as a satire of keeping up appearances in which everything is as it appears.
