The Movie That Moved Me

Posted: August 2, 2010 by theangryhedgehog in TAH.ie

From IMDB:

"A nearly wordless visual narrative intercuts two main stories and a couple of minor ones. A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus. The elements, particularly fire and water, content with political power, which is intolerant and murderous."

This movie is quite powerful in its own weird and strange way. There is very little speech and it is all carried by the weight of the actors being able to direct the story line using facial expressions and physical interaction. It is quite thematically based on the story of Christ; Word of warning – Do not watch this on Christmas Eve.

It is quite bizarre in parts but stick with it and you will come out the other end a little bit broken and confused. A normal day really. :)
