An inexperienced, sickly priest shows up in the rural French community of Ambricourt, where he joins the community's clergy. But the locals don't take kindly to the priest, and his ascetic ways and unsociable demeanor make him an outcast. During Bible studies at the nearby girls school, he is continually mocked by his students. Then his attempt to intervene in a family feud backfires into a scandal. His failures, compounded with his declining health, begin to erode his faith.

I hope I don't have to turn in my film nerd credentials, but I think Bresson is tedious and unwatchable. I've read a bit about him and what he's trying to do to help me get on the right wavelength, but at the end of the day I just don't think he's very successful. When you deny your actors the tools of the trade, it produces the effect of watching dull robots reading a bad audiobook. I wish I could get into this, especially given its influence on later works I'm fond of, but I just can't.
