Entertainment Reviews:
Rey is brilliant as the mephistophelean, anti-clerical Socialist, dandy and outmoded master of social graces: father, lover and husband all in one.

As Don Lope, Fernando Rey is superb.

Variety
...[A] wickedly droll black comedy….This is obviously the work of a world renowned master who knew how to give every shot and scene its exact weight...
USA Today
You can almost sense the director's pleasure in taking apart the duplicities of a patriarchal Spanish society...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Yes, it's more sex, satire and sadomasochism from Spanish maestro Luis Buñuel in this cynical black revenge-comedy.

How an innocent can become a devil is just one of the many wondrous things Buñuel in his genius shows us.

Product Description:
Set in Toledo, Spain in the 1920s, Buñuel's masterful, comic and often erotic study of perversion, hypocrisy and disease explores the twisted relationship between Tristana and her guardian, Don Lope, who takes her in after her mother's death. Lope, an aging libertine who maintains a public image of piety while privately indulging his every desire, finds himself so deeply aroused by the beautiful young Tristana that he cannot resist seducing her. The Catholic hierarchy ignores what Lope has done to her, and preaches obedience to his teachings, causing Tristana to become enraged and begin plotting her revenge. Academy Award Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film.
