In the end Viridiana is Bunuel's pessimistic view of a fallen society , shown through some of the most poweful and masterful shots in cinema's history, interestingly with very few surreal elements ,which are obviously Bunuel's signature trademark, but nonetheless sculptured very delicately.

So the film tells a story about a young Benjamin Blake ( Tyrone Power), son of the deceased Baronet of Breetholm,who is taken from his grandfather so he could serve to his ruthless and vengenful uncle Sir Arthur Blake (George Sanders).

The acting from main characters is very subtle and almost understated , which gives film a dream-like and surreal atmosphere, but it also made it kind of difficult to connect with the characters on an emotional level.
