After dumping a bucket of water on a beautiful young woman from the window of a train car, wealthy Frenchman Mathieu, regales his fellow passengers with the story of the dysfunctional relationship between himself and the young woman in question, a fiery 19-year-old flamenco dancer named Conchita.

A rare bread of cinema, a surreal tale of how fragile one can be against their sexual and materialistic desires and the extents of trust.

An on and off again romance shrouded with an entirely unique perspective that makes the comedy and drama stand out in the crowd

A fascinating look at an extremely unbalanced relationship filled with greed, lust and manipulation. Darkly hilarious.

It's not Buñuel at his best but there are still some interesting elements (despite the apparent sexism).

Great film focus’son the meaning of sex. And the difference between man/woman. As surreal as they come. The cams movement is great as well!
