Anyone recommend this flick???



When a university professor (Alberto Closas) and his well-heeled mistress (Lucia Bosé) accidentally run down a cyclist, they flee the scene to keep their affair under wraps -- but guilty consciences and a slimy extortionist (Carlos Casaravilla) soon take their toll on the couple. Also starring Bruna Corrà, this stinging metaphorical drama from director Juan Antonio Bardem exposes Spain's corruption under dictator Francisco Franco.

Fascist movements seem to spawn great cinema. Look at Fellini. I say give it a shot.
