A defrocked priest wanders across Mexico’s blighted plains in search of Christian values, accompanied by a troupe of freaks and misfits. He is surprised to find that the only person who offers him any compassion is a prostitute. Variously interpreted as a scalding fable about the pitfalls of Christian generosity and as an oddly ambiguous portrait of one man’s search for faith, NAZARÍN is one of Buñuel’s most visually impressive works – thanks to Figueroa’s cinematography.
