Review of Death of a Cyclist

I saw this movie when it just appeared in the movie theaters. Remembering the deep impression it made on me, I decided to watch it again now. It started very well, but somewhere in the middle it lost the air and became simplistic and predictable, although the beautiful Lucia Bose continued to draw the attention. But the rest of the actors were absolutely unbelievable, especially when the great Spanish lover started to feed us with social cliches and trivialities. At that moment the whole thrill gone. It could've been much better, if the thriller was concentrating on the criminal story rather than the anti-bourgeois propaganda.
