Winner of the Palme d'Or at the **Cannes Film Festival**, UNDER THE SUN OF SATAN tells the story of Donissan, a mediocre seminarist haunted by Evil and the failure of his divine mission. He mortifies his body and is unable to establish any rapport with his parishioners, until the day the abbot meets young Mouchette who has just committed a mortal sin. Based on Georges Bernanos's novel of the same name and starring Academy Award-nominated actor Gérard Depardieu (*Life of Pi*). Nominated for 7 **César Awards** including Best Film, Best Actor (Gérard Depardieu), Best Actress (Sandrine Bonnaire), Best Director, and Best Cinematography. *"...Mysterious and powerful.
