TUE SEPT 6, 2022 7:00 PM DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | Robert Bresson: An American Cinematheque Retrospective Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: Long considered a summit of world cinema, Bresson’s adaptation of George Bernanos’ renowned novel – about a young priest whose attempts to assuage the suffering of the people in his village are met with malice and indifference – established the austere style for which Bresson subsequently became famous. Claude Laydu, his downcast visage among the gallery of indelible faces in Bresson’s ouevre, brings a wounding soulfulness to his role as the ill-fated priest. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Rialto Pictures
