Viridiana Blu-ray

'Viridiana' Director: Luis Buñuel (1961) Radiance Blu-ray | 4K restoration | Spanish w/ English subtitles 

A nun on the verge of completing her vows abandons the convent and attempts to repent and lead a morally pure life by turning a mansion - bequeathed to her by her recently deceased uncle - into a shelter for vagrants.

Hugely controversial on its release despite taking home the Palme d'Or, this brilliant satire that began Buñuel's legendary collaboration with actor Silvia Pinal (The Exterminating Angel) retains its power to shock and provoke today.

Special features include:
- Audio commentary by critic Michael Brooke
- Appreciation by filmmaker Lulu Wang
- The Life and Times of Don Luis Buñuel (1983, 101 mins): a BBC Arena documentary on Buñuel featuring contributions from Buñuel and collaborators including Catherine Deneuve, with an introduction by director Anthony Wall
- Interview with Buñuel from 1964 recorded for French TV's Un cinéaste de notre temps
- Stills and poster gallery
