Editorial
One of Luis Buñuel landmark films, Tristana was adapted from Benito Pérez Galdós’ novel and stars the hypnotic Catherine Deneuve and Fernando Rey. Full of erotic manipulation and symbolic actions, this in an idiosyncratic assault on bourgeois moralism, set in the conservative Spain of the 1930s.
