Straightforward Bunuel movie in which a wealthy man's marriage to a beautiful woman triggers an obsessive jealousy which quickly leads to his mental disintegration. The plot is straight out of a soap opera (and not without holes) but is redeemed by Bunuel's complete control. A scene in which the antagonist feverishly imagines the derision of the members of a church congregation is wonderfully typical of Bunuel's skewed touch, and the final shot is strangely disturbing.
