What we have here is Luis Bunuel's last film that he directed. The story starts with a man fleeing a woman and dumping a bucket of water on her head as they leave the train station - he then begins to explain what exactly lead him to that spot. - (reminds me a bit of Agnes Varda's Vagabond in which we almost see the ending first)
The story is of a wealthy French man falling for a young Spanish woman who switches between teasing and rejecting him. What makes this film especially interesting is that the director swaps out the young woman unpredictably at different times, since for some reason his first actress gave him grief, he decided to continue the movie with not one, but two new neophyte actresses. Carole Bouquet will show up again later in a Bond Film but otherwise most of these actors/actresses are unfamiliar to me.
It was an enjoyable story - half Drama/half Comedy - worth the Blu-Ray I suppose and all it's special features but I got a less feature heavy Canal+ version to watch.
Good times.
