La Confession est un film dramatique français réalisé par Nicolas Boukhrief et sorti en 2016. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle adaptation cinématographique du roman Léon Morin, prêtre de Béatrix Beck (sans être un remake du film homonyme de Jean-Pierre Melville en 1961, première adaptation de ce livre).

Synopsis

Sous l’Occupation allemande, dans une petite ville française, l’arrivée d’un nouveau prêtre suscite l’intérêt de toutes les femmes... Barny, jeune femme communiste et athée, ne saurait cependant être plus indifférente. Poussée par la curiosité, la jeune sceptique se rend à l’église dans le but de défier cet abbé : Léon Morin. Habituellement si sûre d’elle, Barny va pourtant être déstabilisée par ce jeune prêtre, aussi séduisant qu’intelligent. Intriguée, elle se prend au jeu de leurs échanges, au point de remettre en question ses certitudes les plus profondes. Barny ne succomberait-elle pas au charme du jeune prêtre ?

Saddened to be returning to the tedium of boarding school, Julien's classes seem uneventful until Père Jean, the headmaster, introduces three new pupils. One of them, Jean Bonnet, is the same age as Julien. Like the other students, Julien at first despises Bonnet, a socially awkward boy with a talent for arithmetic and playing the piano.

Paris, January 1942. France is occupied by the Nazis. Robert Klein, apparently apolitical, is a well-to-do art dealer, Roman Catholic and Alsatian by birth, who takes advantage of French Jews who need to sell artworks to raise cash to leave the country. One day, the local Jewish newspaper, addressed to him, is delivered to his home. He learns that another Robert Klein who has been living in Paris, a Jew sought by the police, has had his mail forwarded to him in an apparent attempt to destroy his social reputation and make him a target of official anti-Semitism. He reports this to the police who remain suspicious that he may be reporting this scheme to disguise his own true identity. His own investigations lead him in contradictory directions, to Klein who lives in a slum while having an affair with his concierge and to Klein who visits a palatial country estate where he has seduced an apparently Jewish married woman. When the art dealer cannot locate the other Klein, authorities require him to offer proof of his French heritage. While waiting for the documentation to arrive, he struggles to track down his namesake and learn his motivation. Before he can resolve the situation by either means, he is caught up in the July 1942 roundup of Parisian Jews. He is reunited with Jews who once were his clients as they board boxcars for Germany.
