Diary of a Country Priest

A young priest begins his ministry in a small village. He is full of plans; however, health issues significantly hinder his service. Additionally, it turns out that the parishioners are far from eager to change anything in their lives. The local community not only does not take him seriously but also plots against him.

One of Andrei Tarkovsky's favorite films, which he referred to as Bresson's "great film."

 International Award at the Venice Film Festival in 1951 and a prize for cinematography.
