Synopsis

A controversial winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or, where it was celebrated and reviled in equal measure, this film is a study in evil and divine grace. Gérard Depardieu plays a parish priest exiled to a small French village, where his faith is tested by his encounters with a horse trader who may be Satan and a village girl (Sandrine Bonnaire) looking for redemption. A stark, rigorous adaptation of the novel by Georges Bernanos.
