Bunuel’s “Viridiana” is generally referred to as an anti-religious film. However, the director’s poetic language which has been one of the bases of the transcendental cinematic style suggests otherwise. Bunuel is against religionism still he does not deny the existence of a numinous, metaphysical reality and the ultimate values. By means of grotesque realism he tries to rehabilitate the invisible world.
