Contrary to the usual optical reflecting the dispossessed or the disabled, religious people generally had positive traits. "Nazario" is the portrait of an earthly being too close to sainthood. "Buñuel's version of the life of Jesus," said a friend exaggerated.

film is sluggish and a conventional plot, is isolated from large-scale surrealism, but reveals some hints of it. The reason is that it is based on the realist novel of the same name written by Benito Perez Galdos in 1895. Buñuel respects the protagonist's deep Christian spirit and projects a human being gentle, kind, compassionate and too complacent.


Father Nazario blanket in his home to prostitutes and outcasts and therefore is forced to leave, to wander through the most diverse regions.
