The Book of Life
2000 seen by... Hal Hartley.
A philosophically dense, surreal theological debate disguised as a millennial comedy, where the sacred and profane collide in Hal Hartley's characteristically deadpan, idea-driven style.
New Year's Eve takes on new meaning when the Devil, Jesus Christ, and Christ's assistant Magdalena discuss and debate the End of the World.
