In Mexico in 1900, under the regime of dictator Porfirio Diaz, a priest attempts to live the life of Christ and meets only humiliation and hostility. Luis Buñuel’s 1958 meditation on the folly of pure Christianity is widely respected, and deservedly so. But it lacks his brilliant wit and seems much less adventurous than his 60s masterpieces. In Spanish with subtitles.
