Monsignor Renard

2000 NR 4h 55m 7.1

The story of the German occupation of France during World War II told through the eyes and experiences of a humble and extraordinary priest.

Twenty years after taking an acrimonious leave of his family and friends in order to join the Roman church, Monsignor Renard returns to his home village as parish priest. World War Two is well under way, and Nazi occupation is imminent. In addition to reassuring the locals, Renard must also attempt to repair his relationship with estranged brother Yves, who resents his sibling having escaped the responsibility of running the family business.
