religious parody

Masterfully subverted Catholic imagery and religious hypocrisy throughout his career, most notably in 'Viridiana' and 'The Milky Way,' using surrealism to deconstruct dogma.

Directly confronted Christian theology through irreverent comedy in 'Dogma' and 'Clerks II,' employing humor and pop culture to interrogate religious doctrine.

Challenged institutional religion and presented controversial reinterpretations of sacred narratives in 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' and 'Salò,' blending spirituality with provocation.
