Sinopsis(1)
El estilita Simón se ha mantenido en penitencia de pie sobre una columna por más de seis años. Un rico devoto le obsequia una mejor columna y Simón realiza el milagro de devolverle las manos a un mutilado. Durante varios días, Simón continúa en penitencia mientras el diablo se le aparece tratando de tentarlo. (José Esteban Alenda S.A)
Reseñas (1)
Simon of the Desert mixes many religious scenes and symbols with a certain amount of irony and its associated humour. At times I felt like I was watching a Pasolini film. I really enjoyed the scenes with Satan and temptation, they were imaginative and humorously obscene. The biggest weirdness, however, arrives (or rather, lands) with the final time jump. PS: I wonder if Buñuel had a kink with kicking animals (see for example Age of Gold)?
