Mary Magdalene
- Commentary: Under construction.
Oh, come on. Don't act surprised. You're aware of my fascination with religious movies, particularly those about the religious triune of Elohim-Allah-Jesus, religion(s) which which I am most familiar. Besides which, these are among the greatest characters in all of storytelling history. Of course I am ever fascinated by their stories.
I didn't even know this movie existed until a few minutes ago, and on this upcoming Sunday it will be a part of my collection. Rooney Mara as Mary Magdalene? Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus? Chiwetel Ejiofor as Peter? Tahar Rahim and Judas? I'll be right there! Save me a seat.
More later.
