Movie: DEATH OF A CYCLIST, THE DVD

Upper-class geometry professor Juan and his wealthy, married mistress Maria Jose, driving back from a late-night rendezvous, accidentally hit a cyclist, and run. The resulting, exquisitely shot tale of guilt, infidelity, and blackmail reveals the wide gap between the rich and the poor in Spain, and survey the corrupt ethics of a society seduced by decadence. Juan Antonio Bardem's charged melodrama was a direct attack on 1950s Spanish society under Franco's rule. Though the film was affected by the dictates of censorship, its sting could never be dulled.
