Movie Reviews of Death of a Cyclist
Movie Review: A Hitchcockian Spanish film
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.
"Death of a Cyclist releases" in Spain as "Muerte de un ciclista" is a film about an adulterous couple who accidentaly hits and kills a bicyclist with their car. It is in a rural area and nobody but them sees it happen. They leave without helping mainly because they don't want their affair to become known. They later become haunted by their crime.
The film has plot elements similar to that of Alfred Hitchcock's films and is also an allegory on the gap between the wealthy and the poor in Franco era Spain. For this the film was censored, but is now freely available.
The special feature on this release is a documentary about the film's director, Juan Antonio Bardem, titled "Calle Bardem"
This is a great film but the DVD could have more special features.
