Bunuel, I have to admit that I wasn't that aware of his movies prior to 2008. But gladly, the Berlin Film Festival did a retrospective on him. And I came to realize that he's a genius (at least to me), so I watched as many of his movies as I could.
Like this one, with is a psychological study of a man in love. Some might even say obsessed and is that really love, what the man feels? Those are points you have to decide/decipher for yourself. Another reviewer pointed out, that Hitchcock might have taken some points from this movie ... which could very easily be true. One thing is for sure: For a drama-thriller this is one to watch! Not really light-hearted though, mind you!
