Tristana Returns to Video
Luis Buñuel's 1970 film Tristana, a modern-day recasting of the Tristan story, has recently been released to home and on-demand video as part of the Cohen Film Collection (details, trailer, and images at http://www.cohenfilmcollection.net/Details.aspx?id=00d78a14-db09-e311-9060-d4ae527c3b65) with a number of features, as noted on the Amazon.com product pages (DVD; Blu-Ray), unique to the physical media versions.
Synopsis (from Cohen Film Collection)
Tristana stars Catherine Deneuve as an orphaned young woman who becomes the ward of a nobleman (Fernando Rey) who seduces her. She then leaves him for an artist (Franco Nero), but returns to her aging benefactor and calculatingly hastens his demise.
Filmed in Toledo, Spain, it was released in 1970 after protracted skirmishes with censors in Generalissimo Franco’s government.
Restored by Cohen Film Collection in conjunction with Filmoteca Española, Madrid to its original glory not seen since its original release in 1970.
