    The significance of the film Diary of a Country Priest in film history is that it provides a unique example of how literary works can be adapted into film. French writer Bernanos (1888-1948) wrote the original diary of the same name, describing the struggle between religious spirit and moral decline in a stern tone. Bresson's concept is: "The reality of a great literary work is the work itself, and the description of a literary work cannot be separated from the words." This is how the young...

    The male protagonist does not believe in heaven, he does not regard the real world as an appearance; suicide does not conform to the teachings, and the wife confirms from the priest that after death will not continue to fall into the clutches of God and then die peacefully, instead of fearing death in order to go to heaven; they do not fear death at all. Not a Christian, so I don't hate them. All is grace is the praise of life (life is just and does not need to be rectified), but this is the...

    Bresson’s third feature film has the power to tremble the soul. The film is adapted from Bernanos' diary novels, with strong literary character, and always thinks of Dostoevsky when watching the film. The conflicts and struggles in the inner world, the contradictions between faith and reality, the split between the soul and the flesh, are heavily repressed and inspire self-examination. A lot of narration and close-up close-up shots (blurring and omission of the environment) make the audience...

    Seeing my chest tightness. "They hate you because they feel ashamed in front of you." The expressionless face even wrote the kind of piercing pain. Bresson changed the novel into a suffocating elegy, and the slow image deepened this...

    After reading "Diary of a Country Pastor", I desperately want to do something to change my status quo, whether it is through self-salvation or self-destruction~~ It is really unbearable to play with loneliness and pain every day. Thank you Bresson for giving me ample two hours to come from the province, although I know I won’t get any better from now...
