- DirectorLuis BuñuelStarsCatherine DeneuveFernando ReyFranco NeroShortly after her mother's death, an innocent and youthful woman will find refuge into the household of her middle-aged aristocratic guardian, who will submit her to his sexual advances.An amazing work by Buñuel. One of his very best in my view. The film may indeed haunt you with the feelings of real life like few other films in history. As usual, Buñuel is doing things like few, if any others have ever done in the world of film. Only a well seasoned mind could come up with such a mature film all in all. Unique films like this are exactly why I still love movies so much. 9/10

- DirectorRené ClémentStarsCharles BronsonJill IrelandMarlène JobertA US Army colonel in France tries to track down an escaped sex maniac.A strong film in many ways, I can see why many people love it.
