There's something about Tristana's amputated leg. A big f-you to Freudian gender politics and a wonderful example of Bunuel's ability to crawl under your skin and make you rethink the Socially Assumed. A lesser work, sure, but still worth recommending. God bless Bunuel.

Deneuve's turn as the title character might be (though less showy or glamorous than the rest) the finest of her carreer, and this is definitely one of Buñuel's subtlest and most intriguing works.

I was excited about another Bunuel & Deneuve collaboration since Belle de Jour is my favorite Bunuel so far. First half is very dull for someone accustomed to Bunuel. Last half introduces a few twists which managed to regain my interest. I still feel I might have skipped a major something about Tristana, but I won't bother myself for a rewatch.

One of Bunuel's relatively subtle films, but it deals, again, with sexual politics, religion, et al. I prefer Deneuve here to her performance in Belle de Jour, and I find the story more interesting to boot. Tristana's degradation is unpredictable and saddening. In a way, it's the same setup as Viridiana, but taken in a different direction. That's Bunuel for you - remaking the same two or three ideas over and over, and doing it very, very well.

PeaceAnarchy | 84 77th |
|
A very accessible Buñuel, but no less intriguing than his other work. It still has the commentary on religion and the class system that is common to his work and a few surreal sequences. The dubbing was a bit distracting but the performances still came through pretty well and the entire film was quite enjoyable.

Tell me if you've heard this one before: a young woman, full of youth and innocence, falls under the socially constructed power of a rich relative, only to find said relative has designs on taking her innocence for himself. Crushing ensues. While the narrative here takes a more social, and less religious, direction than Viridiana, both take the same basic trope to illustrate Bunuel's problems with institutional society. It's beautifully done, though without the verve and indignation of Viridiana

Solid, almost "surreal-less" (apart from one cool dream sequence), drama from Buñuel which, like life sometimes does, takes a completely unexpected (and untelegraphed) turn, then follows that road through to its end. I didn't really get the short final montage.

Very good film, and narratively definitely one of Buñuel's more clearly told films. That doesn't make the acting and stylistic keypoints less brilliant, though. Like the camera movement, which is mesmerizing if you ask me. Almost like a trance sometimes. The story itself is maybe a bit weak, but it's hard not to like it, nevertheless.
