Tristana
Toledo, Spain, 1923. Tristana, a young woman aged 18, has just lost her mother and is taken in by Don Lope, an impoverished aristocrat known as a free thinker. Innocent of the world and of life, Tristana's feelings for her guardian are a mixture of gratitude and revulsion. Even so, it is not long before she becomes his mistress... A serious yet perverse study by director Luis Bunuel of Catholicism, old age, death, desire and deformity. Beautifully filmed in Toledo and starring Catherine Deneuve, Fernando Rey and Franco Nero.
