at Pacific Film Archive (PFA) Theater
(see times)
Digital Restoration!
Tristana (Catherine Deneuve) is a virginal young girl who goes to live with her guardian (Fernando Rey), an older man who eventually breaks through his façade of respectability and seduces her. She repays him a hundredfold, preying on his jealousy and taunting him with her perverse whimsies. Critic Tom Milne wrote: “Cripples, church bells, a crucifix, fetishistic feet, all bearing discreet witness to the torments of a tale of amour fou: Tristana is so absolutely inexorably a Buñuel film, telling everything but explaining nothing as it marshals wild cohorts of obsessions into a delicate filigree of pain, that it takes really Buñuelian language to describe it.”
• Written by Buñuel, Julio Alejandro, based on a novel by Benito Perez Galdos. Photographed by Jose Aguayo. With Catherine Deneuve, Fernando Rey, Franco Nero, Lola Gaos. (95 mins, In Spanish with English subtitles, Color, DCP, From Douris Corp.)
