Film Synopsis
The Priest (1978) follows a devout Catholic priest whose rigid faith is shattered by erotic temptation and guilt, leading him into a spiral of repression and self-destruction. As his spiritual torment intensifies, the boundaries between sin and salvation collapse in an atmosphere of obsession and moral decay. This transgressive religious drama blends psychological horror and sexual taboo in Eloy de la Iglesia’s daring critique of clerical hypocrisy and Francoist morality.
