Editorial Review:
Description:
The story of a monk (played by Rupert Everett) who was expelled by the church and his story thereafter. He finds sanctuary on a small estate owned by a man named Marmant (Ugo Tognazzi), who dreams of starting an academy of gastronomy. Marmant’s young wife Tolerance (Anne Brochet) welcomes the austere monk with open arms, but tensions with the nobleman increase day by day. Conflicts and alliances form and re-form within the stately residence...until the monk reveals himself to be much less than the pious man he portrayed on his arrival.

Rating: - a gem too good for its kind
The casting is in perfect harmony with the exceptional characterization, quite a feat given the immense heterogeneity of the leading parts. Assembling Italian, English and French actors works perfectly well and adds an adequate cosmopolitan strength to the story line. Tognazzi IS Dionysos, Brochet IS innocence and Everett IS redemption. They are all magnificent.
