Carlos 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." Stress Is Three (1968) is experimental in nature, whereby Saura moved away from several of the formulas of his previous two films, [link=tt0062113 and The Hunt (1966). Saura noted, "At the root of it, I had the sense that in Peppermint Frappé I was very constrained by story and I wanted to unbind myself. So, I made Stress Is Three, Three as a kind of liberation."
