"Nazarin"
1958
Directed by Luis Bunuel

A humble priest tries to live by Christian ideals in one of Luis Bunuel's best--and most unjustly neglected--films. "I am very much attached to Nazarin," said Bunuel. "He is a priest. He could as well be a hairdresser or a waiter. What interests me about him is that he stands by his ideas, that these ideas are unacceptable to society at large, and that after his adventures with prostitutes, thieves and so forth, they lead him to being irrevocably damned by the prevailing social order." With Francisco Rabal, Marga Lopez and Rita Macedo. Spanish with English subtitles.
92 minutes.
