[A] typically classy, high-def digital Criterion Collection entry...
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/5 --
Whether Señor Buñuel means his picture as a reflection of all people or just the people of Spain is not clear nor, indeed, is it essential. It is an ugly, depressing view of life. And, to be frank about it, it is a little old-fashioned, too.

Luis Buñuel returned to his native Spain to create this 1961 masterpiece, which marked his rebirth as a filmmaker of international repute.

One of Bunuel's most scathing attacks on Spanish society and religion.

Boulder Weekly
An uncompromising film, as brutal in its message as it is baroque in its cinematography... It is much to have anything at all to say in the movies; it is more to say it as powerfully as Bunuel does.

Product Description:
An idealistic novice nun, hoping to practice good works in the world, opens the doors of her ancestral estate to a ragtag collection of the poor, tired, and hungry. But her charity backfires when the recipients of her benevolence don't warm to her ministrations, choosing to go on living just as they were--in the gutter. A scathing indictment of perceived Catholic self-righteousness from surrealist master Bunuel.
