In the relatively understated Nazarín, a Jesus-like figure is scorned by the world, even by the church, while he comes to question his own faith as he heads for his own crucifixion. Nazario is portrayed as an idealist fool who begins to crumble, while the world is painted as corrupt, cynical, and prone to whims and manipulation. Alas, although far from being blank, the meaning isn't particularly deep, while visually Buñuel seems to have lost his surrealist knack.
