Culled from the same novel that inspires Jean-Pierre Melville’s Léon Morin, Priest, Nicolas Boukhrief’s volatile wartime drama stars Marine Vacth and Romain Duris in a cerebral battle between faith and doubt. As bodily appetites clash against steely spirituality, a storm of emotions furtively brews.
