"Under the Sun of Satan" and Bresson's "Diary of a Country Priest" are the same texts by Bernanos. Undoubtedly, the treatment of the former is more radical, and the disturbing behavior enters in a state of trauma and irony. In the penance of scholasticism, there is also a devotee of "internality", as well as a large number of metaphysical monologues, dialogues, however, this does not mean that it is a "thesis film" about faith, or Bresson "transcendental style", its true identity is a religious melodrama, depicting a confrontation, but not a light-dark binary opposition, the arrogance of the priest is the arrogance of the human, he thinks he is "God"'s agent, but he is not, in other words, what if the only existence is Satan and not God? More Gnostic than Christianity. He confronts Satan, who is phenomenological, as he walks through the dark wasteland where God does not exist, and this "Mushait" is the agent of the prison of darkness and matter, and she is so powerful that she is so powerful that she is with the priest's " piety" against. Her death, the sacrifice of the pagan Joan of Arc.

Better than Bresson, Piara's natural light is used very well, the picture is still white and blue as always, there is a lot of dialogue, and those torture-style confrontations are quite interesting. Satan appeared to speak in the face of an ordinary person, but there was no sense of disobedience. In Piara's calm form, he was a little crazy and tangled.

[first lines]
Donissan: With you, everything looks easy. Alone, I'm useless. I'm like the zero, only useful next to other numbers. Priests are so miserable. They waste their lives seeing God being ignored. People make jokes on us. We're like those walls where people write obscenities.
Menou-Segrais: You're tired.
Donissan: Tired? I'm not tired. Tired is a bad thought.
Menou-Segrais: Suspend your visits.
Donissan: Those visits do more harm than good. In the beginning, I didn't know evil. I learned it from the mouths of the sinners.
Menou-Segrais: No one knows better than a priest about the terrible monotony of sin.
Donissan: I can't speak to them. I can't only make absolutions and feel sorry.
Menou-Segrais: If one absolution in thirty was worthy, the world would be brief.
