Entertainment Reviews:
Buñuel’s mature style can be experienced at its most pure in TRISTANA...
New York Times
The rigid rituals of duty and honor form an inextricable bond of pleasure and degradation, of sex and death-and render sin all the more exciting.

New Yorker
Rating: B --
Both leads give strong performances, and even though they don't engender an emotional response from viewers for most of the film their characters remain powerfully heartfelt creations.

Film School Rejects
Fernando Rey gives a wonderfully droll performance...
Sight and Sound
As Don Lope, Fernando Rey is superb.

Variety
Rey is brilliant as the mephistophelean, anti-clerical Socialist, dandy and outmoded master of social graces: father, lover and husband all in one.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
As much as this tale of bent love runs in the ruts of its maker's obsessions, it has an undertow that's impossible to shake.

Product Description:
Set in Toledo, Spain in the 1920s, Buñuel's masterful, comic and often erotic study of perversion, hypocrisy and disease explores the twisted relationship between Tristana and her guardian, Don Lope, who takes her in after her mother's death. Lope, an aging libertine who maintains a public image of piety while privately indulging his every desire, finds himself so deeply aroused by the beautiful young Tristana that he cannot resist seducing her. The Catholic hierarchy ignores what Lope has done to her, and preaches obedience to his teachings, causing Tristana to become enraged and begin plotting her revenge. Academy Award Nomination: Best Foreign Language Film.
