Tristana. Luis Bunuel's tale is about a young woman (Catherine Deneuve) who falls prey to the affections of her much older guardian (Fernado Rey). Comic (if not to the extent of The Milky Way ) and darkly surreal, this film presents Bunuel's unique vision of the shifting planes of morality...
Bunuel's Tristana, which stars Catherine Dencuve, closed the Festival. The story is reminiscent of Viridinana: a beautiful young girl dressed in black enters the home of her guardian (Fernando Rey, who also played the uncle in Viridiana ); she becomes his mistress, then his wife; she destroys him.

Little of the dickering will be entrusted to the EEC Executive Commission, the Brussels-based body of Eurocrats that was once expected to become a sort of European supergovernment.

In Massachusetts, under an 1889 law recently dusted off, two youths have been sentenced to a year each in prison for wearing the flag as a patch on their trousers. At Denver's El Rey shop, customers are returning their flag vests because they cause so much trouble with the police...
