Initial irreverence makes way for a powerful conclusion with some surprising parallels with the actual Passion. Also a convincing meta-commentary on the artist's pursuit of truth in the face of easy temptations.

A playful film that is certainly entertaining - it's visually and aurally stimulating from start to finish - but which I think fails to achieve what I suspect Arcand was trying to achieve, that is 'reveal' the falsity of traditional religion and rampant consumerism. The critique of consumerism is simplistic and I emerged with more faith (not less) in some of the fundamentals of the Abrahamic religions (in particular Catholicism). I am also not convinced it presents any insights into acting.

An example of a Jesus-like person in modern times. A better example of modern Phariseeism. Both fun and deeply dramatic.

avant garde rendituion of the old story - interesting but not earthshaking

For its moments of interest, this does not really have anything really insightful to say by Christianity. Its also dated badly within the last 20 or so years; only cheesy action and horror films can still get away with 80s rock guitar, not a Cannes festival winner with this mood and tone.

Very funny, yet also an interesting story of religion and the role it plays in modern society
