Viridiana (1961)

dir: Luis Buñuel

A young novice named Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) is about to take her vows when her uncle, Don Jaime (Fernando Rey), invites her to visit him. He is her only living relative, but she has only met him once and is reluctant to comply. Her Mother Superior pressures her into accepting.
Don Jaime is a recluse, living on a neglected farm with only a couple of servants, Ramona (Margarita Lozano) and Moncho, and Ramona's daughter Rita. When Don Jaime sees his niece, he is struck by her strong resemblance to his deceased wife. Viridiana was the winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. (Wikipedia)

Viridiana has all the familiar Bunuel themes: frustrated lust, religious mockery, foot fetishism, contempt for humanity. Contempt in spades, I would say -- the film is a particularly bitter pill to swallow. Wickedly funny, deeply cynical, expertly filmed and wholly engrossing. Pinal and Rey are marvelous, as is the troupe of beggars.

I just loved the contrast between Viridiana and his other late masterpieces. Take that discreet charm and playfulness out of the picture, Bunuel is no less serious and brutal than Bergman.
