      the director said

      Maurice Piara is an actor turned director. He is also a painter. Although his reputation is not first-rate, critics agree that he is a serious director who pursues absolute truth. Throughout his films, there is an air of serenity that is turbulent and disturbing. Piara believes that people's inner world is always full of hesitation, hesitation, self-blame, regret, hope and joy. Joy and expectation are often short-lived, while hesitation and disappointment are always long-lasting. There is...

      Walk with Satan?

      I went to "Ask" to watch the first play. There were 4 to 50 people in the room. Everyone was more conscious and quiet. However, I believe that those who know how to watch such a "dull" film have a certain degree of self-cultivation, and they have a certain understanding of art. have their own opinions.
          The film is really slow and heavy, but not boring. The characters' dialogue and inner drama fill the entire space. (Friends who are impatient should not watch it...) Since I have no...

      Satan or God?

      It's a pure Catholic film, full of big chunks of serious dialogue. For someone like me who has read the Bible once, the film is too obscure, and some of the plots are inexplicable, especially the death of the devout priest Sunny at the end. Since I don't have much contact with Catholicism, I can only talk about it and let others listen to it.

      The "Old Testament Bible Genesis" says that Adam and Eve, the first ancestors of mankind, stole the fruit of wisdom and were driven out of...

      God's opposite is its best agent

      This is a quote from Borges in Jean Duanmusong's book "It's Good". Later I watched Kolakovsky's "Conversations with the Devil," and one of the passages explains exactly that.

      I have always been interested in this kind of "Faust" plot, and this film reminded me of "Conversation with the Devil" and some of the words I excerpted, so I copied the two journals at that time without thinking. Or can be used as a small reference for this film:

      1. The devil was created almost at the...

      Missing a whip

      During the reading process, I felt that there was always the shadow of "The Diary of a Country Priest", but it was different from the obscure diary, but this one seems to be understandable.
      The contradictions and struggles between darkness and light in people's hearts are not necessarily related to religion, but only a form of attachment, which is the nature of human nature.
      What caught my heart was the sudden shooting of the Marquis when the girl was arguing with the Marquis and...

      The priest Donisan kept flogging the sinful soul. The pain of the body was exchanged for the clarity of the consciousness. Mushait, who was corrupted by evil under the hypocrisy of men, worked hard to obliterate God's statement, but in exchange was Satan's tenderness. In the arena of faith, Satan walks with God, regardless of each...

    At the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, "Sous le soleil de Satan" won the Palme d'Or amidst strong controversy. This award is of extraordinary significance to French films, because it was only after 21 years that a French film won the award at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

    "Sous le soleil de Satan" is a movie full of religious metaphors, but the overly blurred plot layout and the overlapping image presentation method finally broke the psychological defense line of ordinary audiences - with the IQ of normal people, it is impossible to understand this movie   .

    Movie quotes

    • Donissan: God is mocking me.

    • [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.
