Le journal d'un curé de campagne (1950)

£0.00

(The Diary of a Country Priest)


Country: FR
Technical: bw 120m
Director: Robert Bresson
Cast: Claude Laydu

Synopsis:

A catholic priest goes about his duties among his thankless parishoners in spite of cold, hunger and illness, but ultimately succumbs.

Review:

Long, slow and intense study in faith, with passages from Bernanos's novel read aloud as diary extracts. The film is a triumph of Bresson's practice of using non-professional actors and a pared-down mise-en-scène, but do not go on an empty stomach.
