Jesus Of Montreal

When attendance at a church's annual Passion Play flags, a troupe of young actors is hired to stage a newer interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. While their modern version brings the house down, the condemnation of church hierarchy creates a strange parallel between the actors--now persecuted believers--and their characters. Daniel (Lothaire Bluteau), the actor playing Christ, insists that the show will go on, no matter what happens to him in the process. An award-winning and uplifting drama, from filmmaker Denys Arcand (The Barbarian Invasions).
