This is the classic,
mutiple award-winning film by Robert Bresson, based on the famous novel by
George Bernanos, that tells the story of a frail young priest who arrives
in a rural French parish in spiritual decline. Vulnerable in his inexperience,
he meets with indifference, scorn and open mockery. Through his diary entries,
the young priest relays the spiritual meaning of suffering and persecution,
conversion and incorrigibility, and the dark night of the soul. Amidst physical
and spiritual struggles, failure and rejection, the priest accepts all with
submission, turning them into a kind of victory, a grace.
"One of the most profound emotional experiences in the history of film."
—Pauline Kael
"A sublime achievement of pure cinema . . . the triumph of cinematic
realism."
—Andre Bazin
"A masterpiece, beyond question."
—The Chicago Reader
