Buñuel's name seems to be inseparable from surrealism, as if the experimental short film called "An Andalusian Dog" with Dali continued to emit some mysterious and dazzling light in the minds of the general public, while Such a label, powerful as it may be, ultimately fails to conceal the truly monumental masterpieces of Buñuel's film career spanning more than half a century. 1961's "Biridiana" is one of its most important works. As the second part of the religious trilogy, the theme of Handel's Messiah "Hallelujah" in the title has been revealed. The first half of the film is about whether the person who needs to be rescued can really be redeemed: the autistic and melancholic nobleman, but falls in love with his niece as a nun, and even tries to possess her at one point, it seems that he can only play on his dilapidated organ Bach's music came to temporarily seek peace, but in the end he still chose to commit suicide. The second half is about the helplessness of the Savior. Bilidiana's religious utopia ends with a frenzied party of beggars, who culminate in that famous "Last Supper" look to the record sound of a B minor mass that pushes the sarcasm to the top. And the nun ended up at the poker table of her once-loathed bourgeois cousin.
