La Pastorela: the Shepherd's Tale

Not high res, but you get everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Cheech Marin to Freddy Fender and more in this holiday classic.

I enjoyed this story when it first appeared on Masterpiece Theatre on Christmas Day of 1991. The music, plot, and performances are extraordinary. I am so glad to have found it again, so I can rewatch it and enjoy all the special moments in the film.

I first saw this film in 1997 and it has been viewed every Christmas since rom VHS to DVD. Highly recommended for everyone, especially those with teenagers!

Loved that this movie brought backMyChildhood memories of Xmas in a Mexican family

If your a fan of this film i recommend buying this dvd great for the family, arrived on time and well packaged. if tou have not watched this film i definitely would give it a shot, in the movie they speak both english and spanish 98% being english also the subtitles look great i say so becasue in some movies it could look a little weird. 10/10

Nicely produced version of the timeless battle between cosmic forces of good and evil in the context of Catholic Christmas message and Mexican folk version of Pilgrim's Progress, with slight whiff of Aztec demonology, especially entertaining for those who remember Cheech Marin and Linda Ronstadt. Good life lesson from an earlier, simpler world view not widely available to us to us secular, cynical nord americanos

The disc was never tested to see if it would play back on a DVD player. Label on inside attached to disc is wrong color....Cover okay, but the disc inside was probably "home grown" (a copy). Just wanted to replace my VHS version because it is getting old and is bulky. Would recommend that this seller test drive his DVD supply. Disappointed.

When I finally saw this listed, I didn't hesitate to order it. Memories of this are also memories of my young family, and watching this with my children on public television.This is a modern twist on the traditional Mexican shepherds nativity play. The Christmas story is told from the perspective of the shepherds, but in this case, as the "play within a play". Familiar actors pop up all over the place. I understood that when this production was announced, Mexican-American actors clamored to be part of it. The love shows in the performances. Even to an Anglo in New Jersey like me. After all, it's Christmas!
