The Life of Jesus
Directed by Bruno Dumont
Produced by 3B Productions, Norfilm
A bleak, intimate portrait of aimless youth and emotional paralysis in a stagnant provincial setting, where desire and tragedy collide without redemption.
Twenty-something Freddy is becalmed in a podunk French village where the only sign of life is the local amateur brass band and youth aimlessly roaming around the countryside on scooters. He has an intense sexual connection with his girlfriend but has no joy or passion to give her. When she falls for a handsome Arab youth a tragedy unfolds.
