Viridiana dir. Luis Buñuel, 1961

*Invited back to his native, now-Fascist Spain in 1960, Bunuel threw his hosts' (inarguably foolhardy) kindness back in their collective faces with this outrageous satire of the goodly deeds of a naive novitiate (Sylvia Pinal) cast into the secular realm. It threw the Spanish Catholic establishment into uproar, causing Franco to burn all copies.

*blurb from The Guardian.
