Wikipedia article
'Stress Is Three' (Original title: 'Stress-es tres-tres') is a 1968 Spanish drama film directed by Carlos Saura. The film stars Geraldine Chaplin and Fernando Cebrin as a troubled married couple. Their marital problems are partially a consequence of Spain's rapidly modernizing consumer society. Saura explains that his film is "the study of the crisis in a seemingly developed society, the crisis of the modern Spaniard who, underneath the new veneer, is still a medieval man, who still has working within him the old taboos and moral repressions from his religious past."Bratton, Jean. 'The "Stress" Is on Geraldine Chaplin. The New York Times. pp. 13. 26 November 1967. Retrieved on 30 July 2011' The film is experimental in nature, whereby Saura moved away from several of the formulas of his previous two films, 'Peppermint Frapp' and 'La caza'. Saura noted, "At the root of it I had the sense that in 'Peppermint Frapp' I was very constrained by story and I wanted to unbind myself. So, I made 'Stress Is Three, Three' as a kind of liberation."
