Mexico, early twentieth century. After sheltering a prostitute pursued by the law, Father Nazario (Francisco Rabal) is forced to go on a pilgrimage to the field.
Calanda Genius signing one of his best works with this adaptation of the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós. History that chronicles the comings and goings of a humble priest in his attempt to capture, in each of their actions, the ideals of the Catholic faith.
The Buñuel Nazario, who is one of the most accomplished compositions of this great actor who was Paco Rabal, is a kind of quixotic figure clearly reminiscent Christological (has followers, "healthy" for patients, put the other cheek ...), a deep and unwavering idealism of religious and moral convictions, which aims to exemplify hope in a world of misery, ignorance and superstition. Like the Knight of the Sorrowful Figure Cervantes, will be God's fields with the aim of "mismatch wrongs" and serve others. However, and here The paradox is that articulates the story, the majority of shares will not have the expected consequences.
Bunuel, who once claimed to be " atheist, thank God " shapes with great respect for his character, without it ever falling into the easy ridicule. However, it shows strong stress when your idea that it is impossible, absurd, trying to apply to contemporary life literally the teachings of Jesus.
The austere and barren staging, is used as a reflection of austere conception of existence is the protagonist and has no less need, delivering and doing everything for the sake of others. Their spiritual rebellion allows related with the likes of Johannes de Ordet or Stalker Stalker .
Along the footage are some times when you may notice the evocative surrealism characteristic of its author, as the strange sight of the portrait of Christ laughing out loud, a dream in which appears a quasi-vampiric kiss or love dwarf character.
In conclusion Nazario is a special religious drama, a joyful stimulation for mind and soul, one more example of the authorial status of English-speaking director most important of all time.
Rating: masterpiece.
