Mary
It takes courage to walk in the truth.
Directed by Abel Ferrara
Produced by De Negris Productions, Central Films
The filming of a movie about Jesus’ death deeply affects three people — an egotistical director who cast himself as Christ, the actress playing Mary Magdalene who cannot bring herself to leave Bethlehem and a TV journalist whose spiritual doubts start to consume him.
