Il Sole Anche di Notte (Night Sun), 1990, directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, with Julian Sands as the lead

In the second scene, Kasatsky, now the monk Father Sergius, is tempted by a beautiful seductress. A little later in both films (and in Tolstoy’s novella), Sergius chops off a finger to save himself from his lust.
