El cura Lorenzo

1954
Drama, Family/Kids
A heart-warming and entertaining chronicle of Salesian priest Lorenzo Massa. His work in the Almagro neighborhood of Buenos Aires in the early 1900s led to the founding of San Lorenzo de Almagro, one of the best soccer clubs in Argentina. (Pope Francis, who grew up in this neighborhood in the 1940s, is a fan). (UCLA Film & Television Archive)

Follows the tried-and-true conventions of the 'sports redemption' and 'reformer priest' subgenres, but still well played. One can tell the production was convicted by both angles while filming, and it enhances the film through some pacing issues, which start to lean into tedium. It's a fascinating Catholic film, especially as its characters start to rip the Band-Aid off some serious dogma.
