    It's a very very good movie. It makes you very tense at times. Fernando Rey is amazing and so are the two actresses who play CONCHITA. An interesting twist on the novel. Criterion has almost (if not, ever) let me down.

    Cinema's greatest surrealist is at the peak of his powers in the last movie of his unparalleled career.

    The lightness with which Buñuel was able to insert the little jokes and knife stabs of surrealism he loved so much is, in fact, divine.

    Elaborate exercise in frustration.
