Quite a nice film by Luis Buñuel about an old(er) man who falls in love with the young Conchita and of course wants to do the same. However, Conchita is not ready for that so quickly. And so the misery begins for our friend. I found the film mainly entertaining and fun - the scenes with the bucket and the chastity pants will not be forgotten quickly. Very funny. Furthermore, you should not look too much behind this story. Of course it was nice that he came up with the idea to have Conchita played by two different women.

Nice movie about a man on a train who tells his fellow passengers why he just threw a bucket of water over a woman. An original story full of many small, interesting puzzle pieces, where the final puzzle will not be the same for everyone. Enough bizarre, but also funny moments. Just under 3.5 stars, mainly because the relationship between the man and the woman (the attraction and repulsion) is rather repetitive.

You recognize the handwriting, as in its two great predecessors, but I think this is the least successful of the three.
