If you loved Viridiana, try Simon in der Wüste
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Luis Buñuel, and they both carry the cerebral, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Viridiana, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Simon in der Wüste is
A desert ascetic’s spiritual Zoom call with the heavens is interrupted by the devil’s Slack messages. Forty feet up a pillar in 5th-century Syria, Simon waits for a sign neither God nor the tempter seems eager to send. Six takes later, the reels run out.
