Viridiana
(1961)

RATING:60%
FORMAT:DVD



Critique of Roman Catholic hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness; concealing sexual perversion. The failure of Christianity to achieve its stated goal is made manifest here after 2000 years of preaching-and-not-practicing; while the world has not changed at all - except technologically.

That said, there is not much else to this movie since it does not explore its themes; merely presenting them; offering no alternative or solution. But the sacrilege is fun and engaging and, even today, Christians will probably find it blasphemous.
