• Resumen

  • The article considers three films (Ensayo de un crimen, El, and Viridiana) from Buñuel’s Mexican period, which lack the strong attitude against religion we find in his earlier films. Instead, we find a perverse and playful game in which liturgical rites are tainted with explicit sexuality. The enjoyment in these films resides, thus, in the perverse pleasure of inverting the meaning abstract of these religious scenes.
