NOTES B/W

A slow, deep, meditative examination of spirituality. A young

priest in his first parish works and thinks hard to understand

and uplift his parishioners. He lives on bread and wine which

is all his body will accept. When his health deteriorates he

finds he has stomach cancer.

Heavy going for some, a breath of fresh air for others.

From the novel by Georges Bernanos
