One of the most profound films on the subject of the life of Jesus Christ was a delightful French-Canadian production called "Jesus of Montreal". It is in French with English subtitles for the most part except when they are speaking English to someone. With the rerelease of Mel Gibson's extravganza, anyone interested in the subject REALLY needs to track this film down.
The short synopsis is of a starving and almost unknown young French Canadian actor who is hired by the priest in charge of the bascillica on top of Mt Royale to revamp their yearly passion play. Does he ever. He goes back to the sources, ancient and modern, and takes a radical look at Jesus and his followers. His small troupe includes other equally starving or unknowns who are dubbing porno movies, being the mistress of thre priest, a top fashion model, and a cynical narator of the science documentary. As they prepare and present their very affecting play, things begin to happen to all of them that mimic the scriptures.
This movie is well worth the effort to find it.
