Details
In this darkly comic retelling of the Apocalypse, Jesus (Martin Donovan) arrives at JFK airport with his intriguing assistant, Magdalena (PJ Harvey). While the world ponders the meaning of this second coming, Jesus battles the Devil for human souls, risks the wrath of God, and struggles with himself over whether these lives are worth saving. The Book of Life presents an unrelenting kaleidoscope of fast-moving images and heart pounding music that perfectly captures a techno-driven, computerized and postmodernist world.
