Twenty years later, her lover finds what is left of her. At the sight of him, she dies of shock. At the sight of her, he shrugs-and casually seduces her innocent young niece (Elsa Daniel...
Geographically, Argentina's Leopoldo Torre Nilsson and Sweden's Ingmar Bergman are poles apart; esthetically, the two directors are quite close. Both record the contortions of provincial puritanism in a style of sensuous opulence.
