This is an amazing film by Luis Bunuel. It is not as well known as his surrealist films, but this has always been my favorite Bunuel film. It is about a simple priest in a small Mexican village who truly tries to live the life of a Christian - and he experiences the consequences. A good example of what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called "expensive" as opposed to "cheap" grace.
Unfortunately, there is not just one file for this film on youtube. You'll have to watch it in 8 or 10 minute chunks, but it is worth it. You will not forget this film. The ending is quite thought-provoking. Why does he initially refuse to receive the act of charity? Why does he ultimately accept the gift?
Please enjoy Nazarin by Bunuel
