The hidden corridors of the human soul have secrets that are unheard of. Spanish director Luis Buñuel did just this in his 1961 masterpiece Viridiana, exposing everything and reassessing it. In this film, his revolutionary ideas and resentment towards the tripartite of authority, religion, and capital are laid bare. Buñuel rebels against the church and the bourgeoisie, returning the impoverished class to its origins, and revealing the falsity of the human soul. Viridiana is a story about tormented humanity, about Christ who was crucified due to excessive politeness, and about other repulsive humans.
