Summary
Screen legend Jean-Paul Belmondo dons clerical robes and delivers a subtly sensual performance as the hot-under-the-collar Lǒn Morin, a devoted man of the cloth who is the crush object of all the women of a small village in Nazi-occupied France. He finds himself most drawn to a sexually frustrated widow, a borderline heretic whose relationship with her confessor is a confrontation with both God and her own repressed desire.
