Gisaengchung (2019)
A poor family, the Kims, con their way into becoming the servants of a rich family, the Parks. But their easy life gets complicated when their deception is threatened with exposure.
Top-notch satire shows director Joon-ho Bong at the height of his art with an eventful, multi-layered tale with several twist, great cinematography and a good ensemble of characters.

Sous le soleil de Satan (1987)
A priest stuck in a rural congregation and burdened with his overwrought spirituality, finds purpose in a troubled woman accused of murder.
Audacious, and heavy-going drama that is more theological thesis than a mere story; Depardieu is excellent as the over-sensitive, painfully soul-searching priest, but the puzzling, irritating metaphysical content of the movie might annoy a more secular audience.
Halliwell*: "Austere examination of the nature of religious belief..."
Maltin***: "A very demanding and difficult film, not for all tastes but most rewarding to those who can relate to the subject: the questions, conflicts, and torments of rural priest Depardieu."
