Maria Madalena

Veteran director Abel Ferrara recruits a roster of Oscar winners Juliette Binoche, Forest Whitaker, and Marion Cotillard for this film that examines the worlds of moviemaking and religion. Matthew Modine stars as Tony, the director behind a film about the life of Jesus. In Jerusalem, his star Marie is exhausted after playing Mary Magdalene, and the spirit of the ancient woman has taken over the actress's body. A world away, New York reporter Ted is making his own religious discoveries in his efforts to make a documentary about Jesus. Soon, Tony's film becomes the object of scorn for a group of religious people, and Tony, Marie, and Ted are drawn together. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
