Viridiana

Directed by Luis Buñuel

After years of exile in Mexico, Buñuel returned to Spain to make the scathing VIRIDIANA, a blistering blast against corruption that was immediately banned. An innocent young nun visits her uncle and attempts to help local beggars and peasants, but her kindness is thrown back in her face. Infamous for its beggars orgy Last Supper scene.
