Viridiana

1961 Luis Bunuel
classic Bunuel in that incredibly overdeterminded/ baffling
also use of obscenity
and bourgeios hiding deep psychonanalsed fetishishes etc
use of low contrast
and telephoto lens, stagey sets
Bunuel though creates space by a constant fluid movement of the camera
swooping in and out, using it as the eye of the viewer to notice
use of fetishised women and serene acting style
a sense of horror, demanding of the viewer
as always with the great Bunuel, very watchable and very difficult to get a hold on
Cries out for multiple views
