Leon Morin, Priest - New 35mm Print!
(Jean-Pierre Melville, France, 1961, 35mm, 117 mins)
Our Dual of The Cool champion Jean-Paul Belmondo returns in this new 35mm print of French director Jean-Pierre Melville's Leon Morin, Priest. A midcareer masterpiece, only now receiving an American theatrical release, Melville accepted an offer to adapt Beatrix Beck's Prix Goncourt-winning novel Leon Morin, Pretre, a book Melville considered "the most accurate picture of the French under the Occupation."
"Maximum emotional and metaphysical toughness to inveigle the most skeptical of observers into acknowledging the operation of divine grace" -Chris Petit, Radio On Filmmaker
