Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.

You can almost sense the director's pleasure in taking apart the duplicities of a patriarchal Spanish society, the long-standing sexual double standard for men and one young woman's revolt against convention.

fresh:
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.

As Don Lope, Fernando Rey is superb.

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