Review
Los Angeles Times, 11/15/2002, p.C1, "...EL CRIMEN is surprisingly adept at conveying the sense of power and mystery the church has at its command, at showing the intensity of belief that ritual and mysticism can inspire..." Entertainment Weekly, 05/02/2003, p.56, "...A potent drama....Bernal's performance is as stirring as a good sermon..." Premiere, 06/01/2003, p.97, "...Carlos Carrerra's low-key style and the cast's multifaceted performances keep the film on the level..." Total Film, 11/01/2003, p.116, "...It's a cogent piece that works as both a rites-of-passage drama and an expose of the hypocrisy of the Church..." Sight and Sound, 08/01/2003, p.44-5, "...Carrera keeps the film moving with quick cutting and a welcome refusal to linger over dramatic moments....He uses a full range of film techniques to hold the audience's attention..."

Product Notes
Gael Garcia Bernal (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, AMORES PERROS) stars in EL CRIMEN DEL PADRE AMARO, a controversial drama that was a box office smash in its native Mexico. Directed by Carlos Carrera, the film tells the story of a young priest who succumbs to temptation and corruption. Father Amaro (Bernal) is a handsome 24-year-old who has recently been assigned to a new church in Los Reyes. Upon arrival, he discovers that his mentor, Father Benito (Sancho Garcia), is having an affair with a local restaurant owner, Sanjuanera (Angelica Aragon). At first shocked, Father Amaro soon finds himself in a moral predicament of his own. Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancon), Sanjuanera's 16-year-old daughter, is a gorgeous teenager who falls deeply in love with the tempted priest. Before long, Father Amaro and Amelia are entangled in a steamy relationship, further testing the young priest's moral fiber. Based on the classic Portuguese novel by Eca de Quieroz, Carrera's film is a scathing indictment of the hypocrisy and corruption that has plagued the Catholic church from its inception. As the confused and conflicted priest, Bernal delivers another magnetic performance, cementing his status as one of Mexico's hottest superstars.
