The Bible has met its match-a lit one! Indeed, freedom of expression may finally have been taken too far in this film script that is more ball-buster, than blockbuster. By removing the supernatural and replacing it with the sacrilegious, Passion Play offers a more logical, albeit blatantly blasphemous interpretation of Christ's life and passion. It's a movie they said would never be made-and probably shouldn't be. An ancient manuscript found in Palestine turns out to be a play written by the historical Jesus, who is a theater director and amateur magician. It provides non-miraculous explanations for his struggles and teachings. We meet his carpenter dad, who sells the Roman occupiers crosses for executions; mentally disabled brother, an instrumental part of some of his magic; alcoholic mom; and his best mate, Judah, who helps him pull off history's most consequential caper. This is a meticulously researched, inventive, hilarious, pitch-black and proudly profane reimagining of the New Testament as told by the man at the center of it all, Joshua of Nazareth AKA Jesus Christ. It lets you put your mind in the mind of the man from Galilee.
