MCT:August 3, 2008The last masterpiece by Luis Bunuel, which deals with the process of loss of human dignity, timeless passion and regret, and of course, desire. The direction is spectacular and the acting by Fernando Rey is absolutely gorgeous. The film is a must see and a wonderful work of art, depressing, shocking and ultimately devastating. A rare gem ahead of its time.
93/100 -
MCT:July 14, 2008I ruined this for a few friends by telling them the twist. I really thought they would enjoy it anyway. Bunuel's final film -- a canvass of sexual expressionism and obsession.

I loved this film and the interesting use of two actresses playing the same charaater is intriguing. I would love to see this film again.

Luis Buñuel's swan song is as delightful, vigorous, loudly cynic, rich and subversive as his other grand works. Fernando Rey, Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina are simply wonderful. masterpiece of imagery and eroticism.

MCT:March 2, 2008I'll be the first to admit that I didn't get this film, but even in it's "obscurity" I remained invested waiting for clarification.

MCT:September 24, 2007The film uses a very unique film device, which is the female lead is actually played by two actresses: One actress for her placid nature and another actress for her tempremental side. This makes the film fascinating viewing even more so that the women don't even look the slightest bit alike. The film also has those beautiful European situations such as Fernando Rey telling his story to a train carriage full of freaks and oddities.
Just one of those exceptional movies. -

Una gran despedida del maestro, ya no quería volver a filmar, sin embargo, volvió con esta cinta que recuerda mucho a "El", aquí ya de plano Buñuel se maneja como un virtuoso y se le ocurre usar a dos actrices diferentes para el mismo papel (lo que le faltaba no?),
las actrices en sí son diferentes y sirven perfectamente para retratar las cualidades y emociones de esta terrible tentación; Angela molina es pasión y erotismo, Carole Bouquet es fría y peligrosamente hermosa.
Así se convierten en es obscuro objeto de deseo para el protagonista, que ni siquiera se da cuenta de los ataques terroristas que ocurren a su alrededor.
Un digno epílogo de tal vez la carrera más prolífera de cualquier director.
Bravo y ... gracias maestro. -

Interesante dicitacion acerca del deseo, me agrada de que un director tenga un punto de vista tan fuerte y se atreva a mostrarnos distintas interrogantes, las cuales posee el personaje principal durante toda la pelicula, y que haga cosas tan locas como poner a dos actrices en el mismo papel intercalandolas para presentar la dualidad del personaje y como se va presentando a el, asi como distintas metaforas que no entran presizamente en la historia pero que nos hablan aveces mucho mas que las palabras como el costal que lleva a lo largo de la pelicula.-

calramente influenciado por el cine surrealista de buñuel, es una obra que nos muestra el intreres que hay detras de una reación amorosoa que en muchos casos no puede faltar.

By a genious stroke of casting (two actresses for one role with no explanation as to the change), Bunuel is able to make his final film one of his very best.

What a wonderful movie! It's a romantic story about older guy falling in love with 18 year old maid, but masked in Bunnuel's fantastic symbolism. There are so many perfectly done scenes and roles that leaves you with a feeling you've just watched a masterpiece! That's the feeling I get everytime I watch one of his movies. He is a genius! I recommend this movie to everyone...

A film you'll find the more you watch it, the more you notice it's brilliance.
One of Buñuel's best. -

This is such a great film, it has so much depth. You'll end up loving and hating them both, perhaps they deserve each other? Wonderful ending, i'm glad someone's actually put that in a film. Fernando Rey serves Bunuel perfectly again
