The film has another sensational title called "The Sinful Life of De La Cruz," which may misleadingly suggest it's yet another movie that uses crime and murder to stimulate the senses. In reality, it's a parody of tabloid headlines, and the content of the film is quite different. The wealthy young man Cruz is cursed by a hallucination of causality from a young age: when he plays a music box, his despised tutor dies from a stray bullet. As an adult, he encounters the childhood music box again, and those around him mysteriously die one by one according to his hallucinatory visions. He becomes a criminal without committing any crime. This film is a mid-career work of the master Luis Buñuel, technically polished but long considered a second-rate piece, lacking the sharpness of his early works and the satirical spirit of his later ones. However, it has recently been reevaluated as one of the master's most charming masterpieces.
