“Is Father Nazario an impractical fool trying to live by unrealistic ideals, or is he a modern-day Christ, sentenced by a soulless world to endure a similar fate? Bunuel sends us mixed messages.” IMDb Nazarin (1959) - IMDb

“The most breathtaking cinematic cross-examination of faith I have ever seen… not content to ignore religion as a non-issue, or to take cheap shots at its practitioners.” Rotten Tomatoes

Set in turn-of-the-century Mexico, the film follows , a humble priest who lives among the poor. After he shelters a prostitute involved in a murder, he is disavowed by the church and forced to wander the countryside as a beggar. Accompanied by two women who view him as a saint, his pilgrimage becomes a surreal and often grim "cross-examination of faith" that questions whether religious idealism can truly survive in a corrupt world.
