Plot

A wealthy man's jealousy turns into paranoia after he marries.

Sinekatalog’s take

Luis Buñuel's Mexican drama follows a wealthy man whose jealousy descends into paranoia. Arturo de Córdova is chilling, and the film's dark humour and psychological precision made a favourite of Lacan and Buñuel fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
