Background Information: Jesus Of Montreal

[Top]

Jesus de Montréal is a 1989 film by Quebec film director Denys Arcand. The film revolves around a group of actors in Montreal hired to present a passion play. However, the actors choose to present an unconventional interpretation of the life of Jesus. As the passion play becomes more controversial, the actors lives begin to mirror the Passion itself. Although a deeply spiritual film, the films unconventional & critical take on Christianity & the life of Jesus is very different from some traditional films such as Mel Gibsons more recent The Passion of the Christ. It has twice placed second on TIFF List of Canadas Top Ten Films of All Time & was nominated for the 1989 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
