Plot
Gael García Bernal stars as the newly ordained Padre Amaro who arrives in Los Reyes, a small town in the fictional state of Aldama, to start his life serving the church. Gael García Bernal (IPA /ga'el gaɾ'sia beɾ'nal/ born November 30 1978 is a Mexican Actor and director. Young Amaro is soon led into temptation by the beautiful Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancón) a local sixteen-year-old girl whose infatuation with the handsome young priest leads to tragedy. Ana Claudia Talancón (born May 1, 1980) is a Mexican actress
The film delves into the struggle priests have between desire and obedience. Amaro is plagued with guilt about his feelings for Amelia and as the local press begin to reveal the secrets of the parish, Amaro turns to his superior, Padre Benito (Sancho Gracia), who himself is having a relationship with Amelia's mother. Sancho Gracia ( September 27, 1936 in Madrid) is a Spanish Motion picture and Television Actor. When Amelia becomes pregnant and dies during a backstreet abortion, the ranks of the Catholic Church come together to suppress the lurid details of the case. Pregnancy ( Latin graviditas) is the carrying of one or more offspring known as a Fetus or Embryo, inside the Uterus of a Female An In 2005 the portuguese version O Crime Do Padre Amaro was released to be one of the greatest hits in Portuguese cinema. Two actors Jorge Corrula and Soraia Chaves represented Padre Amaro and Amelia.
Controversy
The film depicts a corrupt local Catholic Church; Benito is shown to have been receiving funds from a drug lord, and there are connections made between the church and the Mexican militia. The scandals portrayed in this powerful film represent many issues pressing the Catholic church and the way it is perceived as operating in many areas of Latin America.
As a free adaptation of José Maria Eça de Queiroz's novel, the film itself is also controversial for not being faithful enough to the original novel, although this is to be expected as the original novel was published in 1875 but the movie takes place in 2002.
