What is your favorite Jesus movie?

suffering

Easter season was so early this year that it took me by surprise. The falling snow reminded me of wanting to write a review about a disturbing horror film from 2004: Calvaire. It is strange how one can view this film and not see the familiarity with the story about the suffering of Jesus of Nazareth. Reviewers self-evidently translate the title into “ordeal”, while it obviously refers, too, to the hill just outside Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified, according to the New Testament sources. You might as well watch it first (and understand that we need film reviewers who know where we are coming from).
