Trivia:
Conchita Buñuel said the costumes in the film were authentic. "We scoured the outlying districts of Madrid for them, particularly under bridges, giving poor people new clothes in exchange for their rags, which were then disinfected but not washed."

The story develops in the Spain rural between the years 40 and 50, where "Viridiana" (Silvia Pinal) a nun novice who leaves temporarily her convent to meet her uncle benefactor "Don Jaime" (Fernando Rey), who lives withdrawn in a homestead abandoned since the death of his wife occurred the same day your wedding. There receives a visit from his niece "Viridiana" of great similar physical with his wife. His uncle "Don Jaime" will prove to be attracted by the charms of female "Viridiana" and try having sexual relations with the young, and to not get its purpose, "Don Jaime" suicide, which causes a feeling of guilt in "Viridiana" that abandons his religious management to devote time to Christian charity in a home that will have to share with his cousin "Jorge" (Francisco Rabal love child . Luis Bunuel creates a masterpiece cruel heartbreaking and pioneer in almost all aspects, is almost a catalog of the miseries of human beings. It is a mixture of narration , brush-stroke surrealists and characters esperpénticos., where your scene summit is a parody of the "Last Supper" of Leonardo Da Vinci starring masterfully by a group of actors who interpret the poor that welcomes "Viridiana". It is a scene to see repeated several times and not to miss nor a detail. Another character secondary in who should be fixed is "Ramona", (Margarita Lozano) and her attitude toward "Don Jaime" first and with "Jorge" after. And of course, the last and surprising scene for what it means, of the three characters "Viridiana" "Ramona" and "Jorge". I cannot fail to mention the excellent Photograph in black and white of José F. Aguayo. It is certainly the best film of Luis Bunuel after "Los Olvidados" and a masterpiece of course
