The protagonist has been in a certain situation, it can only survive as a priest, otherwise he will face despair. When the "dilemma" he was in continued and recurred, he showed a "choice" of "firm will". "Choose" to survive as a "priest" time and time again, and at the same time constantly regain his own life. This film highlights the open series of "choice" and "choice again".
Bresson provides us with the "religious" version of the empirical "spiritual choice". In addition, Dreyer and Rohmer provided the "moral" version, while von Steinberg provided the "aesthetics/passion" version.
