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 playing with a shotgun after having sex, which was associated with a sudden tremor of mood, which is really classic and expressive.
The priest played by Comrade Depardieu was not very acceptable at first. Anyway, he was also losing weight. When he came out to talk to the old priest, his sitting position turned out to be full of belly. The ascetic scene of the chain whipping himself, although the director avoided Depardieu's fat by wearing clothes and whipping to avoid it, but at the same time, there was also a strong sense of scrutiny that should be conveyed visually.
But after all, the big name, and then the melancholy is getting better.

Under the Sun of Satan 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.
