Synopsis:
Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) is on the verge of completing her vows as a nun when her uncle, who is obsessed with her, incorrectly leads her to believe that she has been defiled by him in her sleep. When the uncle takes his own life and bequeaths his grand estate to her, Viridiana abandons nunhood and attempts to repent and lead a morally pure existence by turning the mansion into a shelter for vagrants. Hugely controversial on release despite being the 1961 winner of the Palme d’Or, this brilliant satire that began Bunuel’s legendary collaborations with Pinal and producer Gustavo Alatriste retains its power to shock and provoke today, and was voted the best Spanish film of all time by Spanish critics in 2016.
