"Under the Sun of Satan"
1987
Directed by Maurice Pialat

A work of great subtlety and tremendous assurance, the film stars Depardieu in his perhaps most astonishing performance, as a tortured country priest who feels unworthy of God's love. Depardieu's priest encounters the young and beautiful Mouchette, played by Sandrine Bonnaire, who lives in the same town and is a murderess who unwittingly shapes the priest's life. A brilliant new film from one of France's most uncompromising directors. French with English subtitles. 101 minutes.
