Jesus of Montreal
Directed by Denys Arcand
Produced by CNC, Téléfilm Canada
A provocative, intellectually engaged drama about actors performing Christ's passion who find their staged roles bleeding into their lived reality, raising questions about faith, art, and sacrifice.
A group of actors putting on an interpretive Passion Play in Montreal begin to experience a meshing of their characters and their private lives as the production takes form against the growing opposition of the Catholic church.
