In the name of the Father, of the Son and of all Artists | New collection on ARTS.FILM

Because we are devout cinephiles and our religion is written in three letters — ART — we believe it would be fitting for our leaders to be seen more often, and publicly, with a collection of Pietr Pasolini, a Le FIFA pin, or even a DVD of Finding Vivian Maier by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel (available, by the way, on ARTS.FILM. Lucky you!).
That’s our take on Bill 21.

This week, as you’ve gathered, we’re focusing on religion, the sacred, and icons. In Harvey Keitel — À l’ombre des ténèbres, Stéphane Benhamou and Erwan Le Gac trace the journey of an actor born into a Jewish family in Brooklyn: early on dubbed ​“the Blasphemer,” Keitel breaks free from his roots and acts under the direction of the greatest, starting with Martin Scorsese, for whom he notably plays Judas in The Last Temptation. In The Divine Way and Divino Inferno [Et Rodin créa la Porte de l’Enfer], Christian themes of the Last Judgment and Purgatory are explored, while in Pilgrimage, Marlene Millar offers a modern, choreographed vision of the act of pilgrimage. Finally, among the other works in this collection, one cannot miss Barbra Streisand, naissance d’une diva, a documentary that prompts reflection on these figures we elevate to the status of modern deities. 

In summary? Hallelujah to the arts and cinema.
