Jésus de Montréal

The Passion play has been a success for more than 40 years in the famous Montreal basilica,* but the passage of time has made it seem old-fashioned,* and modern audiences are growing restless. Its time for an overhaul. So the priest in charge hires a new director and lead role *(Lothaire Bluteau) with a younger,* more inventive cast to stage a revised and updated version. Gradually and inevitably,* they find that the story of the life of Christ has an extraordinary impact on their real-life existence.
