A new priest arrives in the rural French village of Ambricourt to attend his first parish. The apathetic congregation rejects him immediately. Through his diary entries, the suffering young man relays a crisis of faith that threatens to drive him away from the village and from God.
Robert Bresson’s minimalist and transcendent portrait of a conflicted curate profoundly influenced a broad church of later directors from Tarkovsky, Scorsese & Schrader to Buñuel & Vláčil. This staggering look at the inner turmoil that runs alongside spiritual devotion goes in search of the sublime.
