Super movie but imho Annette Benning was miscast in the role.

@0125park Read the book. They changed it around dreadfully in all three movies I know of. Also, the presence of the priest, writing in the house will be explained.

Despite all the long missing parts, thanks for posting this cuz I think it will encourage people to see all three of the major movies based on this, and to read the book. I find the original French too tricky but enjoy tackling it anyway. Such nuances! So good to see the city of Meaux in France show here for some location shots. Great red mustard, from there! Uprated.
