Simon of the Desert (1965) is a parable about an ascetic
and his attempt to be nearer God. It is loosely based on
the life of Saint Simeon Stylites who lived atop a pillar
for over six years in the 4th century in a similar attempt.
It is a uniquely Luis Bunuel film with its wild and even
comedic take on the story. Bunuel was born
February 22, 1900. Also a good Lenten movie, which
began February 14, 2018.
