One of cinemas true innovators, Luis Buñuel takes a Spanish novel about a Don Quixote-like priest who is ridiculed for following the path of Christ, and brilliantly transposes it to turn-of-the-century Mexico. When he is defrocked for championing a prostitute and an outcast, Don Nazario takes to the road with the two women, living out his ideals until they are smashed by an uncaring world. A masterpiece that reveals the human condition and shows us a way to surpass it. Buñuels film unfolds under the double arch of beauty and rebellion.
