What The Crime of Padre Amaro Is About
A young priest posted to a small Mexican town learns of the church's relationship with the local authorities and with drug money. At the same time he begins an affair with a young woman. The film does not put the blame on one person; the narrative shows what the institution covers up to protect itself and how quickly the young priest learns the same methods. The ending is built not on a reckoning but on quietly carrying on. Carlos Carrera directed, with Gael Garcia Bernal. On release it met heavy opposition from church circles in Mexico and was nominated for the foreign language film Oscar. A real warning: abortion, sex and the abuse of religious authority are dealt with directly.
