Why Have Metal Around Base Of Trees

La casa del angel (Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, 1957) Louis Philippe



"I speak to him, has already left the table, my eyes get to the knot of his tie and stop, never have gone there. That silence, not thank the cup of coffee is between us, the only wedding. Mean absolute possession of me. "

is not only influenced by the first Bergman ("Prison"), for "Wuthering Heights" or restlessness Lorca, but Torre Nilsson in turn serves as a reference, among others, for Buñuel that only a few years later become the iconic Angel of Death in impasse in their films.
