Nazarín (Latin American Spanish: [nasaˈɾin]) is a 1959 Mexican satirical drama film directed by Luis Buñuel and co-written between Buñuel and Julio Alejandro, adapted from the eponymous novel of Benito Pérez Galdós.
The film received the international prize at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival and was selected as the Mexican entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 32nd Academy Awards, but was not selected as a nominee.
Although not one of Buñuel's most renowned films, Nazarín still holds a high reputation. Filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky named it one of his ten favorite films. In April 2019, a restoration was selected to be shown in the "Cannes Classics" section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
