"1.6. 2024 "Diary of a Country Priest" cannot to be compared to any other movie that talks about religious subjects and only few directors could have portrayed spiritual struggle with such precision as Bresson did with this film. Bresson says what Georges Bernanos, the author of the original book, said but Bresson does it by using purely cinematic language. Bresson doesn't like psychological dramatizations and they would've been more hurtful than anything else. The film focuses solely on the mai"

" Notes: It was the first movie I saw directed by Robert Bresson and, as I expected, his work turned out to be quite challenging. Indeed, I’m not surprised that Andrei Tarkovsky was a huge fan of Bresson’s work and, to be honest, just like with Tarkovsky’s work, I did struggle to feel a connection with this movie. Indeed, even though the main character keeps telling us his feelings and thoughts mostly when writing in his diary, I was never really sure what I should think regarding the even"

It was also the first movie I saw directed by Robert Bresson and, as I expected, his work turned out to be quite challenging.

Indeed, even though the main character keeps telling us his feelings and thoughts mostly when writing in his diary, I was never really sure what I should think regarding the events displayed in this movie.

"30.3. Pidän kovastikin Bressonistä, eikä Papin päiväkirja ole missään tapauksessa poikkeuksellinen Bresson. Minimalistinen ja niin suunnattoman kaunis, arvoissaan tinkimätön elokuva, joka puhuu niin bressonin kieltä kuin vain voi. "
