What critics compared Nazarín to
Luis Buñuel's Nazarín similarly wears its director's spiritual baggage, but it's also a daring, humanist study of the very masochism that remains unaddressed in Gibson's film (not to mention, how it continues to eat away at the Catholic church).
El Topo is a kind of cross between Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name in the Sergio Leone westerns and Luis Buuel's pious priest in "Nazarin."
