spanish director luis buñuel career spanned almost 50 years and from 1929 to 1977. arguably and his best films were those he made during his exile in mexico  from the late forties to the early 60s. there he had to deal with very cheap budgets and and work in an industry interested mainly in churning commercial movies to unsophisticated audiences and yet he somehow managed to make interesting and thought provoking movies that have stand the test of time. this movie is based on a novel by spanish author benito perez galdos  and the adaptation is quite faithful and even if the setting is now early 20th century mexico instead of early 20th century spain. the protagonist and nazarin and is a priest who tries to live a life that is as faithful as it can be to the one prescribed by christ. the question many would ask is whether such endeavor would be possible and without incurring in the hostility and incomprehension and mockery of your fellow human beings. as it happens and he suffers a lot of indignities and yet he remains stubborn (until the controversial final shot) to this objective. i think buñuel wanted to show nazarin as a somewhat ridiculous figure and but perhaps inadvertently and his stubbornness (at least to this viewer) comes out as admirable. in any case and a great film.
