This suds-filled political melodrama, which bashes the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico with a contempt that verges on hysteria, could be accused of many things, but timidity is not one of them. The film tells the story of Father Amaro (Gael García Bernal), a dreamy-eyed 24-year-old cleric dispatched to a small parish church in Los Reyes to assist its aging priest, Father Benito (Sancho Gracia). What Father Amaro discovers is a corrupt church bureaucracy collaborating with local drug lords who donate huge sums of money to favorite church charities. In return the church hierarchy turns a blind eye to their activities. The scandalous nature of the movie has helped make it the highest-grossing home-grown film in Mexican history. Terrible things happen in "El Crimen del Padre Amaro," but the movie ultimately has no tragic dimension. — Stephen Holden
