Mary
Abel Ferrara attempts to illuminate the life of Mary Magdalene and the role of Catholocism in the modern world through three interweaving stories. Tony Childress (Matthew Modine) is an egomaniacal actor/director who has just completed a controversial film about Jesus. His lead actress, Marie Pelasi (Juliette Binoche) has become obsessed with Mary Magdalene after playing her and meanwhile TV journalist Ted Younger (Forest Whitaker) is on his own spiritual journey as he documents the life of Christ. Their lives will dramatically converge at the film's volatile premiere.
