Among my all time fav movie. These bastards didn't pay Viridiana well for her kindness.  Bunuel in no.1 in my list of all time greatest directors. have you seen Los Olvidados (1950)? Agreed!  I have seen Los Olvidados multiple times. It's an astounding and quite heart wrenching film. I admire Buñuel on multiple levels: his political and religious views, his great instinct for story, and his formidable craftsmanship in moviemaking. Have you seen The Exterminating Angel? Los Olvidados was quite different from his other movies. You rightly used the word 'heart wrenching'. He was more into sarcasm but Los Olvidados seemed to be a neo-realist movie much like some Italian movies of that age. The Exterminating Angel was just as awesome for different reasons. The depiction of wealthy bourgeoisie and satire on their resignation of hope was so involving that even I thought I was part of that dinner team. Bunuel was just the master of dark humour. Very similar to that movie was The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972).
