Synopsis

It’s repetitive to use the word masterpiece when referring to Robert Bresson’s films because nearly all of them meet the criteria. This one, about a clergyman who assumes his post in a small village, takes us through faith, grace, doubt, and mortification — high aspirations for any film but achievable only by an artist with Bresson’s remarkable sensitivity and perceptiveness.
