Jesus de Montreal

Enredo

Em "Jesus de Montreal", uma trupe de artistas itinerantes, liderada pelo carismático ator e diretor Daniel (Desbiens), embarca na missão de encenar uma Paixão de Cristo vanguardista no coração de Montreal. À medida que se aprofundam em seus respectivos personagens, as fronteiras entre realidade e ficção começam a se confundir. A visão criativa do grupo é recebida com ceticismo pelas autoridades da Igreja Católica local, que consideram a produção irreverente e blasfema. Enquanto isso, Daniel começa a ter sonhos estranhos e vívidos, que parecem espelhar os eventos da Paixão de Cristo. Sua vida particular também se entrelaça cada vez mais com seu papel como Jesus Cristo, enquanto ele se vê lutando para conciliar suas ambições artísticas com seus relacionamentos pessoais. À medida que a performance se aproxima, os personagens dos atores começam a ganhar vida própria. A atriz principal da produção, Anne (Lemieux), começa a incorporar o espírito de Maria Madalena, enquanto o pianista do grupo, Arnaud (Gauthier), fica cada vez mais obcecado com seu papel de Judas Iscariotes. À medida que as tensões aumentam entre os artistas e as autoridades da Igreja, o controle de Daniel sobre a realidade começa a se desfazer. Seu estado de sonho torna-se mais pronunciado, borrando as fronteiras entre seus personagens e sua vida particular. A distinção antes clara entre arte e realidade se dissolve, deixando Daniel questionando a própria natureza de sua expressão criativa. Ao longo do filme, o diretor Denys Arcand tece uma complexa tapeçaria de temas, explorando as tensões entre fé, arte e identidade. Enquanto os atores navegam por seus papéis e as consequências que se seguem, "Jesus de Montreal" se torna um poderoso comentário sobre a condição humana, investigando as questões mais profundas sobre quem somos e o que acreditamos. Por fim, o filme culmina em um final deslumbrante, onde o personagem de Daniel se funde com sua própria realidade, levantando questões sobre o poder da arte de transformar e transcender. "Jesus de Montreal" é uma exploração hipnotizante das fronteiras entre realidade e ficção, oferecendo uma profunda reflexão sobre a natureza da criatividade e nossos desejos humanos mais profundos.

31 JUL 2010 (3+) In my first year of university, taking a required Religious Studies course, the lecturer said this film was a must-see for reflecting on the contemporary significance of the Bible. Many years later, finally seeing it, I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. There wasn't much in-depth discussion, and the protagonist "playing" Jesus felt too deliberate (the audition disruption/the platform sermon). I even felt that this film was inferior to the director's American series. In short, this film is particularly suitable for those in religious studies or avant-garde theatre.

7/10. "Jesus of Montreal" transposes the life of Jesus into a modern urban setting. The temptations and persecutions encountered by Columbus within the societal web mirror similar experiences of Jesus and his disciples. When Mireille, who plays Mary Magdalene, attends an audition for a commercial, the advertisers find a pretext to demand her to appear fully nude. Humiliated but eager to get the role, Mireille disrobes. Columbus is enraged by this and disrupts the broadcast station, driving away the advertisers and clients. This is an adaptation of Jesus's redemption of the adulterous woman and his righteous anger at the desecration of the temple. Later, an entertainment consultant advises him to generate publicity to boost his fame. Pointing to the building's glass exterior, he promises..."

If you believe in God, your God is omnipresent. If you don't, you get crushed by a cross. For the individual spirits in the world, detachment is salvation. And those who are saved are abandoned by the world.
