Fun little tale clearly made on a small budget whose point seems to be to defy narrative expectations that sin will be punished by the failure to achieve one's goals, presenting instead a kind of anarchic relationship between actions and consequences, along with a clear demonstration of the relationship between temptation and Oedipal effects. Lilia Prado and Luis Aceves Castañeda are both very good in their parts. Ecuadorian bus rides are similar.

Not Bunuel's best, lacking especially in production values, but it's still well written enough to interesting and enjoyable with some trademark wit and surrealism.

"Acknowledges and celebrates those sometimes miraculous moments (pit stops, if you will) one must face on one's ascent to enlightenment." - Ed Gonzalez

I was hoping to find a rare Bunuel gem, but it was rather weak. A morality play/comic farce, it's all pretty standard except for a couple of unusual dream sequences. The symbolism is laid on a bit thick, too. Of course, it's hard to tell how good this movie is, since the videotape has lousy translation. I swear, there's no subtitles for at least 75% of the dialogue. I still remember a little Spanish, so I could get a taste of what I was missing, but not enough.
