MARY
Tony Childress, a sneering, self-promoting filmmaker, has just finished a Resurrection opus starring himself as Christ and Marie Palesi as Mary Magdalene. Shot in Israel, the experience is so devastating for Marie that she abandons her career and begins a life of simple devotion to God in Jerusalem. Tony returns home seeking to stir up controversy around the film, especially between Orthodox Jews and their neighbours in New York City, in order to sell tickets. Mary is a spare, angry work of cinema that forces us into difficult thinking about the thorny role of Christianity in mass media. It is easily Ferraras best film since Bad Lieutenant, amplifying its complex conception of faith in exciting new ways. (Noah Cowan)
