Tristana (1970)
January 21, 2010
This is late Buñuel, mockingly sensible black comedy, plant in Toledo in the early 1930s, in which an old guardian (Rey) seduces/rapes his girlish ward Tristana (Deneuve) but is unable to possess her, betrayed by Surrealist lurches in time and reality, and by Tristana’s changing ‘nature’ (the amputation of a tumorous leg). Rey is dazzling as the mephistophelean, anti-clerical Socialist, ladies’ and outmoded master of public graces: father, lover and husband all in one. His passion ruins and softens him, but (caught as she is in the chauvinist paradox of woman as cause and eternal end of man’s aggression) it hardens Tristana from innocent virginity to flinty repayment.
