Jesus of Montreal - 6

This is a French-Canadian film from 1989. It is the story of a group of actors enacting the passion for a Catholic church. They have made some considerable revisions (like adding a speech from Hamlet, which surprisingly works well). The film also draws out the parallels of how actors worlds collide between the people they are portraying and their real lives. There are some great questions of meaning that are bought up. Each of the characters has to answer the question of what they are living for.
