Viridiana joins him and a girl living in a triangular relationship. ==Comment[ Edit] == Buñuel does away with the oppression of his youth and cuts his beloved themes: sexual fetishism and incest, the hypocrisy of the Church, the rudeness and complacency of the bourgeoisie, the "lowness" of the people.

The scene with the last supper where Christ and his Apostles are replaced by beggars, is a monument of provocation remained.

With Viridiana broke Buñuel international by. Previously he only made abstract films and documentaries, now he also had a psychological drama to his name. The French film industry saw the commercial value of Buñuel original cinema and asked him to come to France. In 1966 he returned to France to there, for a large studio, larger and more expensive to make films, movies with big movie stars in the lead roles. ==Division Of Roles<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Around the film<span class="mw-editsection" len="328" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
