Tristana
From Sun 28 Jan to Thu 01 FebNow a classic, Luis Buñuel’s Tristana caused a stir with his exploration of decadence, repression and desire in Toledo, which was based on Benito Pérez Galdós’s novel by the same title and written in 1892. Young orphan Tristana is sent to the house of Don Lope to be under his protection. However, Don Lope falls under her spell and takes up the role of protector/husband. Things start changing when she falls in love with a young artist and the until then submissive Tristana starts finding her own voice.
