    Viridiana (1961) | The Most Controversial Film Ever Banned by the Vatican? 🎬

    Can a masterpiece survive being completely banned and burned by fascists? 🔥 In this episode of The Split Focus Podcast, we’re diving deep into Luis Buñuel's infamous 1961 Palme d'Or winner, Viridiana!

What you can expect from this video: - The Craziest Film History: How Viridiana survived the Franco regime and censorship. The "Cinema" vs. "Movie" Verdict: Does this 90-minute black-and-white epic still hold up in 2026? - Hilarious Letterboxd Reviews: We read some of the best (and most unhinged) reactions to the film. Whether you're a hardcore cinephile looking to unpack deep theology or just love wild movie trivia, you won't want to miss our take on humanity's darkest impulses. 👉 Drop a comment: Is Viridiana a masterpiece of cinema, or is it just too cynical?
