I always liked this film's sense of atmosphere and some dark desiny overhanging the hero/killer/ (but very easy-on-the-eyes) psycho dude. The actor is Renaud Varly, I think. Alfredo Mayo is the creep who earlier tries to rape a local girl with his hunter buddies and is ultimately murdered by an "unknown" avenger at the end. (The urination scene is to humiliate him). The Netflix disc came with a pretty good commentary that puts the film in the context of Franco's Spain and the killler is avenging the hypocrisies of a complacent bougeousie as well as trying to get revenge for his mother's suicide and his own frame up by his aunt and eldest cousin. The fact that he also seems to be dangerously loony-tunes is a detail we can sidestep as his social conscience is in more or less the right place. It's also a macabre thing about the director and his questionable death. The real-life mystery adds to it's odd mystique, for me anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-40687221051014534942007-05-13T22:07:00.000-07:002007-05-13T22:07:00.000-07:00I agree that a better audio track might have helpe...I agree that a better audio track might have helped this one.
