Leon Morin, Pretre (Jean Pierre Melville 1961)
Posted on February 08 at 16.03, 2005 by Eric Mahleb
Like so many others, Tarantino recently mentioned Melville as a major source of inspiration, a fact that can be difficult to remember while watching Kill Bill but more plausible when one fully realizes the impact that Melville has had on Cinema as a whole. Leon Morin is a treatise on religion, faith and, perhaps more simply, on some of the things that make us human. Slow, intellectual, and formal, for film buffs only!
