Review of Tristana (1970) by Adrian B — 26 May 2012

Corrupt story of a nun (Catherine Denueve) who joins a church school, catering specifically to special children, in a small Spanish town (Deneuve, who is originally French, had her voice dubbed Spanish into within the movie).

When she joins, she is hit on by the main priest (Fernando Rey, also dubbed) of the church, and they begin discreet affair. Unfortunately, the nun begins enveloped in a tragic illness, for which she loses her leg as a result.

Amusing and odd story, with signature Bunuel direction and humour. Though not his best, it is still intriguing, peculiar study of an evil congregation under the master.
