NAZARIN

Original, country of origin, Mexican 26 inch x 36 inch Poster for the 1959 Luis Buñuel Drama NAZARIN, based on the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós and starring Francisco Rabal, Marga López and Rosenda Monteros.

A priest (Rabal) is despised when he wanders among the poor in the footsteps of Christ in this powerful and darkly surreal satire. His followers are society’s outcasts, including a prostitute. This atheist’s attack on religion won the award from the International Catholic Cinema Office, who may have misunderstood Bunuel’s intentions.

Poster art by L. Mendoza.

The poster is in very good condition with 2 horizontal folds. The bottom fold has slight separation at the centre with some paper loss. There is a 3 inch tear at the left edge.
