A world-wide star of many faces, with exceptional gifts, mute or polyglot, a global supporter before his time, serious and eccentric, omnipresent, everywhere and nowhere, classic and trendy, celibate or a lady-killer, dead and risen from the dead, but immortal… Jesus has been trying to save our souls for the last 2000 years!
A mythical and kooky documentary, both classic and kitsch, serious and funny, old-school and up-to-the-minute, respectful and insolent, this program finally tells the whole truth about the earthly life of the son of God, at least in the cinema… with the footage to prove it.
It does this by combining the best sequences from Jesus in all his incarnations, fictions from all horizons and eras (from 1899 to 1998), and all genres: the must-see classics as well as B-movies and straight-to-TV movies, musicals, and shorts...
This documentary allows us to discover or rediscover the many faces of Jesus, Djizeusse, Ressousse, and the rest… it also allows him free expression, from his birth in Galilee through his doubts at the dawn of the new millennium.
