Gael Garcia Bernal - El crimen del Padre Amaro

El crimen del Padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro) is a 2002 Mexican/Spanish film directed by Carlos Carrera. It is loosely based on the novel O Crime do Padre Amaro (1875) by 19th-century Portuguese writer José Maria Eça de Queiroz.

When it was first released, El Crimen del Padre Amaro was very controversial; Roman Catholic groups in Mexico tried to stop the film from being screened. They failed, and the film became the biggest box office draw ever in the country, beating previous record holder, Sexo, pudor y lágrimas (1999).

The film starred Sancho Gracia, Aishwarya Rai and Gael García Bernal and premiered on 16 August 2002 in Mexico City.

@CarolrtAny  It is based on the novel "Crime do Padre Amaro" (1875) by 19th-century Portuguese writer Eça de Queiroz.; your books are translated all over the world, because your work is always about intemporal themes.

I saw this movie. I always liked the concept of a priest in love with a woman. I mean, what with their vows and stuff, how would they handle a situation like that? So, when I saw this, I had to see it.

Yeah, the ending is pretty sad, but I like how the priests are portrayed. They're human, ya know?
