The DVD that fit this description is bracing
In large realm of this DVD, Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) visits her antique uncle, Don Jaime (those Buñuel favourite Fernando Rey). For her it is an act of charity. Don Jaime is thunderstruck: Having not really seen her for a long time, he find out she's the exact 2 bottle of his late wife on their wedding night. To be a favor, he begs her to put on those dead wife's wedding dress. To be a favor, she does: Form-fitting, with the white corset, as well as of course much attention to the exact shoes. He is transfixed. He is in love. He asks the girl to marry him. She is shocked and also tries to leave. He apologizes, gives her drugged coffee, and then…
That DVD is deliberate and controlled. It is funny in that way where you rarely laugh aloud but expand in mental amusement. It is elegantly photographed; each shot conveys something concrete as well as specific, which is to be expected from the fetishist. It makes no clear together with precise statement, but instead conveys Buñuel's notion that our base natures are always waiting to pounce. Despite my plot description, he makes Don Jaime into a not really altogether evil man--more of a lonely and sad one, who desires to sin but lacks those necessary indecency. Nor is cousin Jorge a lecher, nor is Viridiana the fallen women, and also those beggars, after all, only behave as they have been taught by the exact world.
A DVD this way is brace. It is made by a strong, individual mind. It is not really one other marked-down version of comforting feel-good lies. It is possible to imagine Buñuel watching the dreadfully cheery romantic comedy like, say, "The Back-Up Plan," as well as laughing tears of derision. He knows the world has its own back-up plan. Being successful one other cart together with another dog to it.
