“This week the Brattle Theatre shows an infamous film by one of cinema’s original provocateurs — Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel… ‘Viridiana’ is a masterpiece of outrage, a middle finger toward the ruling class, about which Buñuel reportedly quipped ‘I didn’t deliberately set out to be blasphemous, but then Pope John XXIII is a better judge of such things than I am.'” – Oscar Goff, Cambridge Day
The new 4K restoration of VIRIDIANA screens Fri, Jan 16 – Mon, Jan 19.
