Mary

Film director Tony Childress (Matthew Modine) finishes shooting in Italy hi's biblical drama called ”This is my blood” that stars him as jesus and major movie actress Marie Palesi (Juliette Binoche) as Mary Magdalene. When it’s time to strike the set, Marie refuses to go home, after having some kind of spiritual epiphany and sets of for Jerusalem.Director Abel Ferrera presents a spiritual film about faith and redemption in cynical times at the same time a form of comic response to The passion of the Christ in witch Matthew Modine’s character works as amusing portrayle of Mel Gibson and Ferrara himself . ”Mary” won the Grand Jury Prize and several other prizes at this years Venice film festival and was nominated for the Golden Lion.Movie goers and critics alike have taken to this tricky construction, nesting a film within the film and is a must-se for spirutaly seeking audiences and confused filmmakers everywhere. This is a work of style over substance. with his usual theatrical lighting and his slightly dreamy backdrops, Farrara trully makes ”Mary” a dilightfull movie experiense. MATEO OLIVA
