Nazarín ([nasaˈɾin], [naθaˈɾin]) is a 1959 Mexican film directed by Luis Buñuel and co-written between Buñuel and Julio Alejandro, adapted from the eponymous novel of Benito Pérez Galdós. It won the international prize at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival and was selected as the Mexican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 32nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
Although Nazarín is not one of Buñuel's most renowned films, it still has its fans; the acclaimed director Andrei Tarkovsky even named it one of his 10 favorite films.
Synopsis
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.Actors

In a series of thematically-linked vignettes, a couple's attempts at fulfilling and consummating their romantic relationship are continually thwarted by the bourgeois values and sexual mores of family, church, and society. In the course of seeking sexual release and satisfaction, involving the man imagining an advertisement has come to life of a woman's hand rubbing herself, then later she tells her mother she hurt her finger, then a waiter at a party rubs a wine bottle in a similar fashion and the woman sublimates her sexual passion by fellating the toe of a religious statue before finally French kissing her father. The man's penchant for committing social taboos, like making love in the mud during a religious ceremony and slapping her mother, seems to excite the woman. He stumbles away from the father and daughter kiss to her bedroom where he throws a burning tree, a bishop, a plow, the bishop's staff, a giraffe statue and handfuls of pillow feathers out the window.

Seul film documentaire de Luis Buñuel, tourné en avril et mai 1932 dans la région des Hurdes (Estrémadure), à partir de la thèse ethnographique de Maurice Legendre, directeur de l'Institut français de Madrid, Las Jurdes : étude de géographie humaine (1927), Terre sans pain ne fut sonorisé qu’en 1937, puis à nouveau en 1965 lorsque Buñuel décida, avec son producteur Pierre Braunberger, de diffuser une version non censurée du film. Remarquable par son sujet peu traité à l’époque (la misère en milieu rural), par son montage (fait par Buñuel « sur une table de cuisine, à Madrid »), par l'usage du gros plan et de la piste sonore, ainsi que par la place assignée au spectateur par le film, le film continue à surprendre aujourd’hui encore.
