Another more sensational title of the film, "the sinful Life of Della Cruz," sounds like another film that stimulates the senses with crime and murder, but it is actually a parody of the titles of popular journals, and the content of the film is very different. Cruz, a wealthy son, was cursed by an illusion of cause and effect when he was young: when he shook a music box, the governess he hated died in a stray bullet. When he became an adult, he ran into a childhood music box again, and the people around him died one by one according to his hallucinatory picture. He became a criminal without crime. The film is a masterpiece by Master Bunuel in the middle of his creation, but it has long been regarded as his second-rate work, lacking early sharpness and late sarcasm, but it is later re-evaluated as one of the master's most charming masterpieces.
