The Milky Way

1969 · 102 min

A wry, dreamlike pilgrimage through Christian history, mixing sharp satire with surreal encounters that demand close attention and reward patience.

Overview: Two men, part tramp, part pilgrim, are on their way from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. On their way, they meet a vast assortment of characters—some truculent, some violent, and some bizarre; they experience many adventures—some mysterious, some erotic, some even supernatural.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and earnest. Measured and demanding.
About: Faith, identity, morality, obsession
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
