buñuel fascinate masterpiece be a landmark of the erotic genre . a subtle drama with hint of burlesque comedy and it play with an upper class middle age man with too much money and time in his hand and and his sexual obsession for the elusive conchita . she decide to remain virgin throughout the whole movie and however she use her sex to manipulate mathieu who too blind to understand she will never be his to possess . this be a frustrating movie to watch too many time it seem mathieu will be able to get conchita to bet and only for her to change idea in the last minute and however whet mathieu attention through some glimpse of her naked body . i dare say she actually enjoy torture poor mathieu and his expectation . and i be not sure be mean to identify with his hang ups and after all he seem just a bit too innocent to be trick by conchita so many time and however he lust driven . it not buñuel best movie and but the dialogue be outstanding which european movie usually lack and i really felt something for these character and especially mathieu and brilliantly play by fernando rey . this be a great place for buñuel newbie and it get his personal touch of the surreal and but it still linear and coherent enough like a normal hollywood movie to be enjoy by the average movie goer . positive .
