Synopsis

Jean-Paul Belmondo (A BOUT DE SOUFFLE) stars in this film set during the French Occupation. He plays Leon Morin, a handsome young priest who captures the attention of an attractive and flirtatious young widow named Barny (Emmanuele Riva). A communist and an atheist, Barny enters Morin's church on a whim one day and engages him in a conversation during which she severely criticises his faith. Surprisingly intrigued by his replies, Barny comes to develop a platonic relationship with the priest, but her burgeoning romantic obsession for this forbidden man of the cloth fuels the film with a terrific erotic charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding, 25 Dec 2006
By G. V. Cherian "gv_cherian" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Leon Morin, Pretre [1961] [DVD] (DVD)
If,like me, all you knew of Melville were his gangster pics of men in trechcoats and fedoras planning their heists that invariably go wrong, and came to this film late, boy are you in for a suprise!
This film about faith (the need for, the lack of...) and the flesh (the desire of the young woman who is the protagonist in this film, set in wartime France, for her young handsome confessor priest)achieves spiritual lift off that even Robert Bresson would have been proud of.
It tells you that Melville, had he shaken off his American film noir infatuations, could have worked across any genre and achieved perfection. Here was a guy who KNEW cinema.
If you were a Melville fan for Le Samourai, or Le Circle Rouge, this film will double up you admiration. A masterpiece!
