La joven / The Young One (1960)

Excellent portrait of human nature-label in the Bunuel cinematography, "The Young One" is also one of its least known film and even unfairly valued. When it would have been easy to opt for one of the strong and almost antagonistic personalities who star in the film, the spanish director tiptoes through its winding plot. Do not judge, do not fall into temptations easy Manichean moralizing scatters bulk or as favored the occasion. Again, there are no stories of good and bad. The human being, fortunately or unfortunately, is much more complex than that ...

Supported by good performances from unknown actors and even novice (Kay Meersman), the story is very fluid, seeping into the density of the passions buried within it.
