Deneuve is lovely as always, 14 August 2007
Author: Pete Tha GEEK! from Copenhagen, Denmark

A wealthy old man (Fernando Rey) living alone agrees to house an orphan girl (Catherine Deneuve). The man is a good socialist who always pretend to defend the weak and poor in society. However, he can't really behave himself when given the opportunity for the pleasure of young flesh. He gives the slightly naive girl a special place in the house and slowly he get her talked into being his mistress. It becomes him well to feel that he own the girl. She still wish to be free though and often take long walks on the street against his will. She one day meet a young artist (Franco Nero) who she gets attracted to and finally run away with. The old man is broken and change his attitude to the obeying in hope of getting her back. He will eventually, but then she has changed drastically too. Lust, possession, revolting, obsession, fear and other classic Buñuel themes are on their place in this twisted romance/drama. The story is obviously set in contrast with political issues of the time. Many surreal and/or symbolic scenes might require multiple views to figure out the meaning of. But the scene in the bell tower should be rather obvious for everyone. 'Tristana' run slower than other Buñuel movies but the rather dark and unsettling end is worth the time. And Catherine Deneuve is lovely as always, express an attractive innocence with pigtails and makes a sweet couple with Franco Nero.
