Mary - A Film by Abel Ferrara The always provocative Ferrara continues to challenge propriety with his new film Mary. In this post-Da Vinci Code and Passion of the Christ world, where the separation of church and cinema has become porous, Ferrara's latest film is a particularly defiant work. Tony Childress (Matthew Modine) has finished his movie on the Resurrection starring himself as Jesus and Marie Palesi (Juliette Binoche) as Mary Magdalene. The experience has had a profound effect upon Marie, and feeling drained and replete after her role, she turns inward to a life of faith. In contrasting response, Tony heads back to New York to stir up controversy and business for his new release. When a TV host (Forest Whitaker), whose show focuses on the true meaning of Christ, enters the picture, Ferrara's examination of faith and entertainment takes on even greater dimensions. Cast: Juliette Binoche - Marie Palesi/Mary Magdalene Matthew Modine - Tony Childress/Jesus Forest Whitaker - Ted Younger Heather Graham - Elizabeth Younger Also features: Marion Cotillard, Stefania Rocca, Elaine Pagels, Jean-Yves Leloup Written by: Abel Ferrara, Mario Isabella, Simone Lageoles Cinematography: Stefano Falivene Edited by: Langdon F.
