Another sensational title for this film is "The Sinful Life of De la Cruz," which may lead one to mistakenly believe it is yet another film designed to titillate with crime and murder. In fact, it is a parody of tabloid headlines, with content that contrasts sharply. The wealthy young man Cruz is cursed by a hallucinatory cause-and-effect: when he plays a music box, his despised tutor dies from a stray bullet. As an adult, he once again encounters the childhood music box, and those around him strangely die one by one according to his hallucinations. He becomes a criminal without committing any crimes. The film is a mid-career work of master Buñuel, showcasing refined techniques, but it has long been considered a second-tier work, lacking the early sharpness and late scornful spirit. However, it has since been reevaluated as one of the master’s most charming masterpieces.
