Sous Le Soleil De Satan
|
Positioned somewhere between Bresson's immortal Journal d'un cur'' de campagne and Dieterle's The Devil and Daniel Webster Maurice Pialat's staggering Sous le soleil de Satan [Under the Sun of Satan] addresses the torrent of spiritual and intellectual turmoil unloosed among the denizens of a little country parish. It is a film by turns calm and violent buoyant upon the tears of mercy and gurgling with the blood of the Lamb. G''rard Depardieu (Loulou Le Gar''u) is the self-abasing curate tortured by questions about his role in God's plan - before an encounter with a material Satan touches off a powerful revelation. At the crux of his vision is Sandrine Bonnaire (A nos amours. Police) the madly profligate brewer's daughter whose fate ruptures in a blast of gunpowder and the slash of a razor. As events unfurl Maurice Pialat himself provides witness as the seasoned cleric who pronounces the words: God wears us down. One of the great films of faith made by a non-believer Sous le soleil de Satan left an indelible mark on spectators from the very moment of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 1987 - where it won the Palme d'Or for Best Film.
