heres what wikipedia has to say about it.

Simon of the Desert is a 1965 film directed by Luis Buñel.

It is loosely based on the story of the ascetic 5th-century Syrian saint Simeon Stylites

who lived for 39 years on top of a column.

maybe im a crazy person but id actually love to see a movie about a dude who spent 39 years on top of a column.

fortunately for all of us it’s only 42 minutes long.

maybe he fell off.
