      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        Luis Buñuel said that many of Tristana's idiosyncrasies, including her habit of asking people to choose between nearly identical objects, was based on the director's sister's similar habits.
      • Quotes
        • Don Lope: Poor workers. Cheated and then beaten. Work is a curse, Saturno. Down with work that you have to do to survive. That work isn't honorable, as some say. All it does is fatten the exploiting swine. However, what you do for pleasure ennobles man. If only we could all work like that. Look at me, I'd rather be hanged than work! So, I live poorly, but I live without working.
