Trailer
(Spain, 1961) Luis Buñuel's irreverent, savagely satirical black comedy about an idealistic young novice (Silvia Pinal) who dedicates her life to living up to her Catholic principles was banned in Spain, denounced by the Vatican and awarded the Palme d'or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. Now it gets the Criterion treatment. Francisco Rabal and Fernando Rey co-star.
