Taking the act of looking as a backbone of this article I analyze the representation of feminine characters in the film Viridiana, directed by Buñuel and the challenge that this approach poses when framing Buñuel's artistic universe. The traditional position of women as silenced, absent and excluded in the patriarchal system is challenged by a series of transgressive feminine acts of looking that take power away from male characters. By using this atypical ways of looking Buñuel re-imagines women and invents a different way of incorporating language and desire into the cinematic text. Viridiana is read here as and atypical text that undermines the practices of dominant culture by ysing an elusive visual language.
