Cast[]

Background[]

The film adaptation of a novel about a blood revenge that has lasted for several generations is so country-specific that the audience at the Venice Film Festival thought it was a comedy . Buñuel takes great pains in his autobiography to show that the despicable events portrayed in the film were even surpassed by reality.
