The man by overdosing on Veronal while the woman by setting herself on fire in a public square. That should be enough to get you going since you are already reading this. The link to the movie is a the end of this post if you cannot resist. The movie was shot in 1929, it's a surrealistic movie by Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dalí.
