Synopsis:
Jesus dreams of a medieval battle in the
name of Jesus Christ and of a dying world war soldier who, in
desperation, calls out the name: Jesus. Jesus awakes, distraught. What
is the meaning of this nightmare? Why are these strangers using his
name? Jesus is a simple carpenter, like his father Joseph. Both are
presently looking for work, but they've been wandering for days from
town to town without finding any. Times are difficult in Galilee.
Roman taxes are stifling the country. The hated Jewish tax collectors,
viewed by the people as traitors, rob people of their last means of
subsistence. Revolts and bands of revolutionary thieves are spreading
uncertainty throughout the land. Herod Antipas, the Jewish king, is
merely a weak shadow of his feared father Herod the Great. The real
power lies in the hands of Caiphas, the high priest. To strengthen his
position, he plays the Jewish interests against the Roman interests
with religious fervor. His most dangerous opponent is the new Roman
procurator, Pontius Pilate. This hard, people despising military man
has an ideal comrade in arms in the cynical author and spy Livius. The
two callously attempt to keep rebellious Judea under Roman control.
Countless crosses with executed rebels line the streets. The Romans,
however, observe the growing power of itinerant preachers and prophets
with suspicion. The most influential of these prophets is John the
Baptist. He fearlessly condemns Roman lust for power, the decay of
religious customs and the reprehensible immorality in the house of
Herod. After Joseph's death, Jesus feels abandoned and lonely. He
believes that he is not yet strong enough to take up his calling. Then
his mother Mary tells him how an angel once revealed to her that she
would bear a son, and she tells how determinedly Joseph declared his
support for this miraculous child, despite the fact that it was not
his own. Further, Mary describes the foreign kings who paid homage to
the newborn child. Jesus now realizes that it is time for him to
follow his calling. He takes his leave from his previous life and from
Mary of Bethany, the woman who loves him. From now on, his life is to
be completely devoted to his great mission. Jesus visits John the
Baptist. In their childhood days, Joseph raised these two as brothers.
They remember their first shared visit to the temple, as well as the
fact that, back then, it was Jesus who, as a 12 year old boy, went to
the temple without his parents' knowledge, in order to teach in his
father's house. Now that Jesus is ready to take up his calling, John
agrees to baptize him. At the baptism, a glowing dove appears and a
voice calls Jesus by name. After the baptism, Jesus retreats to the
desert, alone, to meditate. There, Satan appears to him in the form of
a beautiful, beguiling woman and a man in contemporary street clothes.
Satan shows Jesus all the unhappiness that his teachings will one day
bring to humanity and offers him in exchange real, unlimited power
over the Earth. Jesus resists the temptation and, now steadfast,
returns home. The first disciples are already slowly beginning to
gather around Jesus. They still have doubts, however, as to whether
their master is really the heralded Messiah. Only Mary trusts in her
son. When the wine runs out at her nephew Benjamin's wedding, she is
able to talk Jesus into giving everyone a visible sign of his divine
heritage. Jesus asks to have the amphora filled with water and
transforms it into wine. This miracle allays his disciples' doubts.
Through miracles, Jesus succeeds in allaying the doubts of Simon the
Fisher and even those of Thomas, the skeptic. They, too, follow him.
At the same time, however, Jesus continually perplexes his followers
with his incomprehensible behavior. He shuns the Jewish freedom
movement lead by the wild Zealot leader Barnabas, for example, and
instead accepts the invitation of Matthew the tax collector. Matthew,
too, becomes a follower of Jesus, despite the other disciples'
mistrust. When a recently discovered adulteress is to be stoned by an
angry mob, Caiphas sees his chance expose to Jesus. He invites the
crowd to demand a verdict from Jesus. Jesus, however saves the
desperate young woman by declaring that only he who is without sin
himself may cast the first stone at her. Ashamed, the mob disperses.
Deeply moved by this scene, the former prostitute Mary Magdalene joins
the disciples. When Jesus wants to go with his students to the temple
to pray, he finds the temple court full of traders and money changers.
Suddenly overcome with rage, Jesus hurls their stands to the ground
and, wielding a whip, drives the profiteers out of the temple. When
neither the Jews nor the Romans show signs of resistance, it becomes
clear that Jesus will play an important role in Judea's future
religious and political development. John the Baptist, in the
meantime, has been executed at the wish of Queen Herodias, the wife of
Herod Antipas. Jesus mourns his loss greatly, but he can hardly give
in to his pain, as more and more people are coming to him to hear his
teachings, even though many of these still seem strange and
incomprehensible. For example, Jesus preaches that God favors the
meek, the poor and the faint. Above all, however, he doesn't put
strict observance of the laws first, but rather love of one's fellow
man. Jesus doesn't even shun non-Jews, to his disciples' dismay. All
attempts by the ambitious disciple Judas to give Jesus' teachings a
political twist fail. Judas is forever trying in vain to gain Jesus'
support for the Zealots' freedom fight. Finally, when Jesus brings
Lazarus, who is dead and has already been lying in his grave for
several days, back to life in front of several onlookers, his
popularity knows no bounds. Sitting on a donkey, Jesus rides into
Jerusalem and is received like a king by an enormous crowd. Caiphas
sees a real threat to his religious authority. He goes to Pilate, who,
in fact, officially wants to have nothing to do with Jewish religious
matters, but secretly has already planned Jesus' death, together with
scheming Livius. He was just waiting for Caiphas to take the
initiative. This way, Pilate can pretend that he is merely carrying
out the will of the Jewish authorities and does not have to take any
personal responsibility for Jesus' death. Jesus himself knows quite
well that his death is inevitable. At a last shared supper, he bids
his disciples farewell. He tells Judas, however, that he should listen
to his conscience for a change. Judas has long been contemplating
delivering Jesus to the authorities in order to provoke a rebellion
and thus to force Jesus to take political action. He leaves the meal
to betray Jesus' location to Caiphas' henchmen. Jesus spends his last
hours of freedom with select disciples in a garden near Jerusalem.
Again Satan appears to him and tries to talk Jesus into avoiding his
death. He tries to convince Jesus that, not only will his death be
meaningless, but quite the contrary: it will bring that much more
suffering and atrocity into the world. He shows him religious wars and
witches being burned. But Jesus believes in the love in people and
surrenders to Judas, who is approaching with Caiphas' henchmen. While
Jesus is being sent back and forth between Caiphas, Pilate and Herod
in a cruel farce, being brutally whipped all the while, his disciples
hide in fear. Even courageous Simon, who Jesus once called Peter, the
rock, denies knowing his master. Jesus is sentenced to death.
Undergoing dreadful torture, he is crucified on a hill near the city.
When he dies, the sky becomes dark and an earthquake rocks the land.
The disciples take him down from the cross and bury him in a cave.
Three days later, however, they find the cave empty. Jesus, alive,
appears to them and commands them to proclaim everywhere that love has
conquered death. Even doubtful Thomas has to believe the miracle when
he is allowed to touch the crucifix wounds on Jesus' hands. |

Synopsis:
An actor called Daniel goes in search of
actors to stage the play 'The Passion', in which he casts himself as
Jesus. The Passion play has been a success for more than 40 years in
the famous Montreal basilica, but the passage of time has made it seem
old-fashioned, and modern audiences are growing restless. It’s time
for an overhaul. So the priest in charge hires a new director and lead
role (Lothaire Bluteau) with a younger, more inventive cast to stage a
revised and updated version. Gradually and inevitably, they find that
the story of the life of Christ has an extraordinary impact on their
real-life existence.

Synopsis:
The story begins in Egypt, in the
marketplace of Avaris where Joseph is sold as a slave to Potiphar, the
Pharaoh's Chief Steward. Joseph, the favored son of the patriarch
Jacob, was given into captivity by his own envious brothers. A
tireless and highly productive worker, Joseph wins his master's trust
and is named steward of Potiphar's household. However, Joseph also
unwittingly arouses the lust of Potiphar's wife. Luring him into her
room one day, she orders Joseph to give her pleasure. But Joseph
prefers punishment, even death, to betraying his master. As he flees
from the room, the desperate woman tears off Joseph's garment and
brandishes it as proof of her violation. As Potiphar questions him,
Joseph begins to narrate the story of his past, a tale of suffering
and hardship. We flash back to the time when Jacob and his family
settled near the town of Schechem. It is a brief and unhappy stay, for
when Jacob's daughter Dinah is ravished by the young prince of
Schechem, Jacob's sons decide to exact revenge with a bloodbath -
despite an agreement reached between Jacob and the Schechemites. As
Jacob and his family flee, Rachel, Jacob's beloved wife, dies while
giving birth to Benjamin. A few years elapse, and Jacob's older sons
become increasingly resentful of their father's preference for Joseph.
When Joseph turns seventeen, his father has a wonderful colored coat
made for him, which further excites the jealousy of the brothers. When
Joseph is sent to a distant pasture one day to look after his
brothers, they seize him, tear off his coat, throw him into a dry well
and, the following day, sell him as a slave to traders on their way to
Egypt. This is how he enters the service of Potiphar. Despite his
doubts about his wife's version of the "rape", Potiphar has Joseph
jailed to vindicate his wife publicly. In prison, Joseph is assigned
to attend two high court officials who are suspected of having stolen
a bracelet from the Pharaoh. Tormented by dreams, the men ask Joseph
for help. Joseph tells the cup-bearer that he will be reinstated, and
the chief-baker that he will hang. Two years later, the cup-bearer
remembers Joseph when the Pharaoh is unable to obtain from his priests
a rational interpretation of two anguishing dreams. Joseph is summoned
and predicts that after seven years of plentiful harvest, Egypt will
suffer seven years of famine. Convinced, the Pharaoh appoints Joseph
as his chancellor and gives him a beautiful Egyptian woman as his
wife. Joseph immediately begins to put aside a fifth of the country's
harvest. After seven years a murderous famine strikes, driving people
from nations near and far to come to Egypt to buy grain. Among the
famished, Joseph recognizes his brothers. Testing them to see if they
have changed, Joseph is satisfied and reveals his identity. Finally
reunited with his beloved brother Benjamin and his father Jacob,
Joseph reconciles with his family, and the Pharaoh invites them to
settle in Egypt as overseers of his livestock. |
