Mary
Synopsis
The filming of a chronicle of Jesus’ death in Israel deeply affects three people–an egotistical director who cast himself as Christ, the actress playing Mary Magdalene who cannot bring herself to leave Bethlehem and a TV journalist whose spiritual doubts start to consume him.

Film Critic:...
Long nurtured as a project by Abel Ferrara with various screenwriters, Mary finally emerged as a furiously compressed film, a dazzling montage of ideas about how to live spiritually in a corrupt, modern world.
