Overview
Based on the story of a 5th century ascetic who spent his days perched alone at the top of a pillar, with the added spice and satire that is typical of Buñuel. Silvia Pinal appears to have a blast as the shape-shifting Devil determined to tempt him down and lure him to a most surreal and otherworldly destination.
