SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Nazarin, try these.

The Milky Way poster 01

Movie / 1969 / Drama / Comedy

The Milky Way

Why this pick

A more playful but equally rigorous Buñuel pilgrimage: spiritual conviction meets contradiction, satire, and compassion in a deliberately episodic journey.

Diary of a Country Priest poster 02

Movie / 1951 / Drama

Diary of a Country Priest

Why this pick

Its frail young priest faces suspicion and suffering with grave inward discipline; the spare style and spiritual pressure closely suit Nazarin’s moral solitude.

The Holy Mountain poster 03

Movie / 1973 / Drama

The Holy Mountain

Why this pick

For Nazarin’s collision of faith, poverty, and hypocrisy, this offers a far more extravagant, surreal spiritual quest charged with anti-clerical provocation.

The Flowers of St. Francis poster 04

Movie / 1950 / Drama

The Flowers of St. Francis

Why this pick

A gentle, plainspoken portrait of radical humility and fraternity, offering the sincere spiritual ideal that Nazarin subjects to harsher irony.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Padre Nazario is a Roman Catholic priest of Spanish heritage living austerely in a hotel on the poor side of town. He is of a quiet, temperate nature and carelessly gives away what little he has, to the point of not caring whenever his room is burgled. He demonstrates understanding and compassion for those he encounters, such as a woman living below him, Beatriz, who is plagued by psychotic episodes and thoughts of suicide, and has a troubled relationship with a man named Pinto.
