Chronicles of a Wandering Saint
Chronicles of a Wandering Saint is a 2023 Argentine-US supernatural comedy film written and directed by Tomás Gómez Bustillo in his directorial debut. Nominated for three 2024 Independent Spirit Awards, it stars Mónica Villa.
In a tiny Argentinian town, a pious yet competitive woman decides that staging a miracle could be her ticket to sainthood. After discovering a lost statue, she orchestrates a grand reveal that will finally anoint her as the most admired woman in town. But before the unveiling, she dies in a car accident, and in the second half of the film acts as a soul which is not seen or heard by living humans. During this period, she is forced to reevaluate everything she once took for granted.
Chronicles of a Wandering Saint premiered at the 2023 SXSW where it won the Adam Yauch Hornblower award. Hope Runs High acquired the film in early 2024 for theatrical release.
The film was nominated for Best First Feature, Best First Screenplay, and Best Cinematography at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards. J Hurtado of Screen Anarchy praised the film's script, performances and "high concept".
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 31 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "A humorously absurd film based on relatable human aspirations, Chronicles of a Wandering Saint is as fantastically life-affirming as it gets."
