Despite being banned on charges of blasphemy, surrealist director Luis Buñuel's first film in his native Spain after many decades of exile was hailed as a triumph by many critics and audiences. A dark, humorous and cynical story about corruption, the film tells the tale of  young would-be nun Viridiana, filled with charity and compassion, who is released from a convent to care for her grieving uncle Don Jaime – but the visit doesn’t go anything like to plan, in what is a frank and sometimes shocking story, but one laced with wit and originality.
