Jesus of Montreal (#4)


Listen Later

This week, the guys talk all about a film about the good lord above... kinda. It's #4 on the Top 10 Canadian Films list - Jesus of Montreal. They talk about Denys Arcand's personal stance on religion and if he sees the film as a religious tale, the similarities between the main character and the story of Jesus, the cinematic representation of the play-within-the-movie, criticisms of the Canadian healthcare system and much more.

 

Next week: the guys discuss #3 on the list - The Sweet Hereafter.
