A couple having an affair strike and kill a cyclist, scoot away and are forced to deal with the guilt and other social ramifications as the days go by. This film exposed the ugly underbelly of the upper caste in Spanish society under Franco...the decadence that long-term privilege brings to a class.
Very sharp cine/camera work. Imaginative editing...a solid work of world cinema. Appears to have been an influence on Polanski and the French New Wave.
