Hal Hartley directed this French-produced comedy about the Second Coming of Christ (Martin Donovan), with Thomas Jay Ryan in the role of Satan. While a gambler (David Simonds) and a waitress (Miho Nikaido) talk with Satan in a hotel bar, Jesus arrives at JFK airport with Magdalena (PJ Harvey). Jesus has been sent down to end the world by breaking the Seven Seals on a computer disk in a bowling alley locker room. Made in digital video blown up to 35mm, this film is part of the French "Collection 2000 Seen By" television series of one-hour films about the Millennium (and the only one by an American director). Shown at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

| Jesus came back at the millenium and refused to perform the apocolypse- Anyway that's the plot, in a Hal Hartley manner- with lots of talking and significant looks while folks smoke and drink coffee and walk purposefully around discussing the end of the world cryptically. Hal Hartley is hands down my favorite director- but I do feel that his later works aren't as fine as his earlier pieces. I enjoyed the movie and its not long about an hour tops- but I didn't like it as much as Trust or the Unbelievable Truth- Still I enjoyed it more than the majority of new hollywood flicks out there- if you like HArtley's films- and a great deal of talking in every movie this is great. |
