English title: The Ninth Day.
Based on the memoirs of Jean Bernard.
A Catholic priest from Luxemburg is held prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp of Dachau on account of his activities of subversion against the racial policy of the Reich. He is released on a nine-day leave during which he is offered a deal.
One of those heavy, well-made conscience dramas which follow a predictable course but remain affecting despite of that. The dialogue is memorable and deep, offering a temptation-in-the-desert kind of dialectics. The main performance is remarkable.
