Review of Tristana (1970) by Constantin R — 02 May 2008
Like in the most movies by Luis Bunuel, there is no non-diegetic music. The sounds of life complete the circle of life. Firstly we have Don Lope who dominate from his position of tutor. Tristana is young, unexperienced, innocent and don't know in what game she's into. In the second part of the movie, after she came back in Don Lope's house the roles are changed. She govern Don Lope with her caprices and she take the revenge against him and against her fate. In the final, after he die, Tristana is like she forget everything and she return to her innocence, long time ago.
The film is very enjoyable, yet still deals with issues such as sexual freedom, power, anti-clericism and anti-bourgeois values amongst others. The shots get one into each other and make a system from what you understand the changes from innocence to collapse.
