"The Crime of Father Amaro"
2002
Directed by Carlos Carrera
Gael Garcia Bernal plays Father Amaro, a new priest assigned to the small
rural town of Los Reyes, Mexico. Upon arrival, he discovers that a
conspiracy of corruption, sex and lies has overtaken the local Catholic
Church. As he tries to separate himself from the other priests' actions, he
finds the temptation too great and is eventually drawn in. The Crime of
Father Amaro created much controversy upon its release and many Catholic
organizations in Mexico and the United States called for a boycott of the
film. It eventually went on to become the highest-grossing Mexican film in
its native country. Spanish with English subtitles. 120 minutes. |
