All I remember about it is Irène Jacob as a nun telling her suitor that if she were to have an affair with him it would be like lighting a candle in a room full of the light of Jesus or something. Which I guess had some power if it’s stuck with me for 30 years.

I voted for Beyond the Clouds for sentimental reasons, because I saw it at the NYFF.

Figured the winner would win. Recall that Musketeers film being pretty good.
