A great classic

It is difficult to imagine how shocking this movie must have been when it came out at the beginning of the 60's. It is completely unrespectful towards the Church or any conventions and it is just rather anarchic. It is a great and inspiring flick and I loved it. Definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Buñuel's work.

Novice nun Viridiana does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece.

Films Condemned by the Legion of Decency (75 movies items)

"Irreverent satire by Luis Bunuel (an outspoken critic of the Catholic Church and of religion in general). Depictions of blasphemy (including a parody of the Last Supper), suicide, incest (including an attempted rape), and other sins horrified the American and Spanish censors. "

"Luis Buñuel avidly seeks to piss off religious devotees (and succeeds) with Viridiana, which may very well be his masterpiece. Essentially, the film may be separated into three parts: the presentation of the innocent "virgin" against the corrupt; the desensitization toward the modern cruel reality; and the chaotic uproar that results in a final thrust of acceptance. Overall, it is a slow, yet profound unraveling of the threads of spiritual idealism, and its utter helplessness against the surrou"

Film Log for 2012 (254 movies items)

"I expected this to be like the other Bunuel films I'd seen; a surreal, absurdist farce. Not at all, it's a legitamitely sad film with no surreal leanings. Huh, second film I've seen by a generally unconventional director that's pretty straightforward in a row"
