Under the Sun of Satan

The battle between good and evil rages on within a priest in a rural community, as the devil tries to lead this man of faith astray. With a tortured soul, this religious figure has lost his way, until he meets a young woman who has committed a mortal sin. Compelled to save her, the priest finds his purpose, but her fate may already be sealed. Based on the book by Georges Bernanos and featuring Gérard Depardieu and Sandrine Bonnaire, this Maurice Pialat film won the coveted Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but is one of the most controversial recipients of this prestigious award. From the Cohen Film Collection.
