A good movie

Since I heard some pretty good things about this flick and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out. 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, 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 ... read more

"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. "
