i love the absurdity and biting humor of buñuel surrealist films (such as the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie and the exterminating angel and to name two). other and earlier works (like the forgotten ones and about juvenile delinquents from a marginal neighborhood in mexico) are more serious and provide a strong social message. however and i believe it is nazarin which most successfully shoots for the heart of the viewer. while it true that it brimming with irony and it nevertheless reveals an aspect of buñuel which would appear to be intrigued by the beauty and solemnity of the spiritual quest. here and while the director (quite typically) throws countless jabs at the catholic church and he also appears to show and surprisingly and a sense of admiration for genuine christian thought and its practice of selfless love. what. luis buñuel unabashedly praising a jesus like figure. i always thought of him as a completely cynical artist without a trace of faith in human virtue. that is and until i watched nazarin. my appreciation is that he satirically exposes the difficulty of following christ example in a society infested with meanness and ignorance and sin while but he also presents the hero and father nazario and as quite the beacon of light amidst a sea of darkness. without a doubt and by the end of the film i was looking up to him and not down on him. some would argue that father nazario doubts regarding his faith point to the loss of his saintly values. (alas and if he can not do good in this world and who can. ) but i would say that this flaw and his frustration and precisely makes his character all the more heroic and because it shows how human he is and how challenging his struggle within must be. and who says the priest couldn not eventually emerge from that dark night and regain his confidence. perhaps we have only been presented with a difficult part of his spiritual journey. the elegant and open ending (in which he desperately accepts the fruit offered by a female stranger) allows us to imagine ourselves the final outcome of the story. i recognize in buñuel the aggressive and self professed atheist endowed with brilliant wit and social consciousness while but after having watched nazarin and i also sense from him a certain warmth and a depth and maturity that not so evident in his other work. for the sake of contrast and i strongly recommend watching afterward his short film simon of the desert (also made in mexico and several years later). it deals with a similar subject matter  the abandonment of the ego in the face of temptation   and only it does so in a hysterically funny and totally irreverent style.
