Diary Of A Country Priest
With DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST Robert Bresson made his first masterpiece, exploring the life of the soul in a fallen world. When a new priest arrives in a small French country village to attend to his first parish, the apathetic and hostile rural 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.
Claude Laydu, his downcast visage among the gallery of indelible faces in cinema history, brings a wounding soulfulness to his role as the ill-fated priest. And Bresson strips style to its barest essence, exacting a purity of image and sound to convey his universal story of suffering grace.
"It is ironic that Bresson's films are more deeply spiritual than, in my opinion, anyone else's. He did not believe, but he respected belief, and hope." - Roger Ebert
