He’s a disappointment. I should expand on that judgment and qualify it where appropriate. Horacio’s early […]
Tristana: Buñuel’s Film and Galdós’ Novel: A Case Study in the Relation Between Literature and Film by Colin Partridge (New York: The Edwin Mellen Press, 1995). All quotes are from Partridge’s translation of the text unless otherwise noted. I’m realizing how poorly thought out my approach was on writing about Tristana, but I’m halfway through […]
