Tristana

Tristana (1970) starring Catherine Deneuve, Franco Nero, Fernando Rey. Directed by Luis Bunuel. Tristana (Deneuve), upon her mother's death, becomes the ward of a family friend named Don Lope (Rey). Though Lope is a trusted family friend, he soon seduces the innocent Tristana, who is, after all, only a teenager. Later, though, Tristana becomes disgusted with Don Lope and begins going out on her own. She falls in love with an artist named Horacio (Nero) and eventually ends up running away with him. This has been called by some the quintessential Bunuel film, and it is filled with deformity and scary dream sequences. The more I studied it, the more I liked it. It's in Spanish, with English subtitles. Grade: B+
