Golden Age of Mexican Cinema Series: Nazarin

Kick off the summer season with FREE outdoor movies each Monday in May at Main Plaza!

Hosted by Main Plaza Conservancy in partnership with HEB and Slab Cinema. Movies start at 8:00 PM/ at dusk.

The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema spanned three decades and produced comedies, romances, and dramas. Join us on (5/15) for “Nazarin” (1958):

“Nazarin” is a Mexican film directed by Luis Buñuel and released in 1958. It tells the story of a well-intentioned, yet deeply flawed, priest named Father Nazario, who strives to live a life of purity and self-sacrifice amidst a corrupt and unjust society. The film follows Father Nazario as he tries to help the poor and downtrodden in a Mexico marked by social inequality, hypocrisy, and moral decay. Despite his noble intentions, Nazario’s attempts to do good are met with resistance and often lead to unintended consequences. 

Bring the whole family with chairs and snacks!
