Young priest is struggling w/his faith. His doubt leads him to self-flagellations of the body & mind. His superior views this as arrogance. On the way to another parish, he has an unnerving encounter w/satan in plain clothes. Satan's says he is a marked man. He meets 16-yr old harlot who just murdered her older lover. It’s a miracle that he can read through the girl's soul. He’s convinced that it's satan's doing. #MauricePialat never wavers in his no frills, austere approach. #underthesunofsatan
