Viridiana   — 4K 03/29/26

Luis Buñuel’s top roost as a world-class filmmaker remains undisturbed: as an exile in Mexico, his commercial work continued at a high creative pitch, staying true to his surrealist principles. Invited back to fascist Spain to make a movie, he generated a masterpiece guaranteed to become an international scandal. The cinematic slap to Generalissimo Franco won top honors at Cannes, and had to be smuggled to Mexico after  la dictadura  ordered it destroyed. Silvia Pinal, Fernando Rey and Francisco Rabal star; what may be Spain’s greatest film is now remastered in 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
