"Diary of a Country Priest"? Verrrrry slow-moving. But the director is working at a different speed than the audience, which allows insights that a more impatient director would never be able to show.Your analogy is true for all film fans: Better to see a great film in a chewed-up, contrasty copy, on a black-and-white TV, with tinny sound coming from one little speaker, than to see a lousy movie in a theatre with a pristine new print, on the best screen in the multiplex, with full, rich HPS4000 sound emanating from all directions. I know people who won't watch things in black-and-white, who will not sit down to see a "silent" movie, who are bored if the soundtrack is mono. They may "like" movies, but they do not love them!

What is magnificent, is the way Bernardos turn the Catholic religion as ideally & ideelly it should be. Love and humanism.
More in time and more I tend to think that the so-called big productions are poison for our senses. They replace the food of spirit with the kind of McDo.
To take only in small quantity and not too often. That is what should be written ...
