''Tristana'' is a 1970 film directed by Creator/LuisBunuel, starring Creator/CatherineDeneuve.

It is set in UsefulNotes/{{Spain}} in the 1920s and 1930s, shortly before Franco and the DayOfTheJackboot. Tristana (Deneuve) starts the film as a 19-year-old woman who comes under the guardianship of Don Lope when her mother dies. Don Lope unfortunately has some un-fatherly ideas about young Tristana. Soon enough he has made her his lover. Tristana respected and loved Don Lope when he was a father figure, but after she becomes his lover she grows to hate him. The formerly innocent and sweet Tristana grows bitter and angry after being exploited by her guardian. Eventually, she has her revenge.

!!Tropes:

* MatchCut: From a brazier in Don Lope's household to a spinning number wheel in a park.
* MurderByInaction: Sort of. With Don Lope having some sort of attack, Tristana pretends to call the doctor without actually doing so. Then inaction turns to action when she opens the window to the bitter winter cold.
* SnowMeansDeath: On a bitterly cold winter night, Tristana opens up the bedroom window to help Don Jaime croak.
