Regreso a «Viridiana» provides a nuanced look at historical cinematic production through a female perspective. It successfully centers intellectual ability to act and cross-cultural observation within a specific 1960s Spanish context. However, the film lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities or disability. Diversity is primarily rooted in gendered perspective and European cross-cultural interaction.
