<i>The Woman in Red Boots</i> 1974 film by Juan Luis Buñuel

The Woman in Red Boots is a 1974 fantasy comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Juan Luis Buñuel. The film stars Catherine Deneuve as a beautiful young writer with the power to make her wishes reality whose life becomes entangled with the plots of the wealthy art patron Perrot, played by Fernando Rey. The film is highly surrealistic and tinged with a meta-narrative, with the characters roughly representing divisions of the art world: the raw creative power of young Françoise, the heroine who has nearly unlimited potential; the cynical manipulation and distant intellectualism of the elder Perrot; and the middle-aged Marc, trapped in the middle and forced to choose.
