Title: a priest struggling with faith.
Product review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film."Diary of a Country Priest" with the French title of "Journal d'un curé de campagne" is one that I found to be boring despite my religious background. It took me four tries to finish the film without falling asleep.In this film a priest with health problems starts work at a church in rural France. Through his diary entries he reveals his crisis of faith and the way the villagers dislike him. He later befriends a priest in a neighboring village and learns that he has cancer.The film does have some nice scenery of norther France but that is about it.The special features on the DVD are a theatrical trailer, audio commentary by Peter Cowie, and the standard essay about the film in the liner notes.This film is recommend for those interested in the topic or for insomniacs.
