"An older sophisticate falls desperately in love with his 19 year old former chambermaid with whom he is forced into a cat and mouse love affair. Bunuel's last film is also perhaps his most complete statement regarding the themes of passion, religion and politics which he so often dealt with throughout his career. With great finesse and by flirting with absurdity as he so often did in his best works, in a surreal fable he takes to the screen one of the best portrayals of sexual obsession and frustration of all time."
