Welcome back to my Home Movies! This week, we don’t have much in the way of new releases, thought Best Animated Feature nominee Little Amélie or the Character of Rain is coming out. So, today, I’m going ahead and citing the new Criterion Collection release hitting shelves in Veridiana from Luis Buñuel. Which one is that, as well as the various titles being re-issued on 4K and Blu-ray? Read on to find out…
Joey’s Top Pick
Viridiana (Criterion)
From The Criterion Collection: “Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican upon its premiere, Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle (Fernando Rey) and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, Viridiana is as audacious today as ever.”
