Title: Leon Morin, Priest
Review: Ever wish that the DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST priest were smarter, sexier, and healthier? LÉON MORIN, PRIEST (1961) is for you! The usually misogynist Melville convincingly shows the woman's point-of-view in this tale of sexual obsession & redemption though (gasp!) faith. Lovely score & shooting. Vignette structure using quick fades is disorienting but works. Atheists make the best Xtian movies.
