Filmes

Nazarin
Original Music Composer
Baseando-se na novela de Benito Perez Galdós, Luis Buñuel, o cineasta mais importante da língua hispânica de sua época, atualiza o argumento, dando-lhe grande força dramática (uma vez que os problemas manchengos da trama são adaptados ao universo mexicano). O humilde padre Nazarín, interpretado por Francisco Rabal, vive e compartilha sua pobreza com os necessitados que moram perto da pousada de Chanfa. Após proteger uma prostituta que provocou um incêndio, é obrigado a fugir da cidade. Em sua peregrinação, as ações de Nazarín provocam uma série de problemas que se contrapõem fortemente a visão da caridade cristã.
