He soon assembles a group of actors and stages the play, but will their lives ever be the same again as each confronts their own doubts and flaws?The film is a brilliant reworking of the life of Jesus into the modern era as well as being highlighted in the play itself. The parallels are obvious and often trite, but that’s much of it’s charm, that basic simplicity overshadowed by an over complex world.The film is in Quebecois being subtitled in English, although some small scenes are in full English. There is some moderate male nudity, swearing and violent behaviour and will not sit well with many religious ideologies, thus meriting an unfortunate 18 rating. This is well filmed and acted making it an easy ***** for those looking for a different view. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great one from a great director. *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2014* Truly difficult to say if this is Denys Arcand's best movie, as The Barbarian Invasions is another fantastic movie. Amazing performance by Lothaire Bluteau as the Jesus character, well supported by the other actors and actresses, like Johanne-Marie Tremblay and Catherine Wilkening as a modern Mary the Magdalene. Movie about theatre, religion, our society and its materialism, great blend of a little comedy and much more drama, something Denys Arcand excels at. DVD in French with English subtitles. Possible drawbacks: Very 80s style in soundtrack--that electric guitar. Some parallelisms between Jesus's life and what happens to the actors a bit obvious. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars a fascinating film *by S***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2013* Jesus of Montreal was a Palme d'Or winner at Cannes, and must certainly count as one of the more intellectual and challenging films even to have won that accolade. The group of actors, putting on a revised version of the passion play, fall foul of the Church authorities who find it too radical, while living lives that come to mirror their roles quite closely. It seems to get to the heart of the enigma of Christ, and questions how he would be received if he were alive today. It could be read as a Christian film, or a debunking of Christianity, presenting at the same time an apparent mystery of coincidence without any divine explanation, and focusing on context as all-important. It also shows how many Christian precepts obviously make sense as a code for living, while the mystery of events near the end adds one layer of enigma over another, like a palimpsest. The core group of 'actors' are very good, while Lothaire Bluteau astonishes in his psychological radiance, becoming something quite sublime - or possibly just delirious - after he has bumped his head. So there's the mystery of great acting as well - is it 'faking' something or does it get to deeper truths than normal existence? My only criticism arises out of its distancing stance - there is something detached about it, taken as a whole, that leaves you slightly unsatisfied, in the way you might be by Brecht. In one sense this throws Bluteau's heartrending flights into stark relief, but there is a slight sense of an intellectual puzzle that demonstrates rather than inhabits. If you like the classic German playwright, you're more likely to respond positively to this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/404140383-jesus-of-montreal-dvd-by-lothaire-bluteau](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/404140383-jesus-of-montreal-dvd-by-lothaire-bluteau) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
