Jesus of Montreal
This has to be one of the most interesting films I've seen in a very long time. It takes place in a weird fashion era but the story line is universal. The brief netflix synopsis states this:
In response to dwindling attendance at the annual Passion Play put on by a Montreal church, some actors are hired to stage a more radical interpretation of Christ's teachings. The new version is an instant success, but also incurs the wrath of church hierarchy. This film won 12 Genies (Canadian Academy Awards), including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. It also won the Jury Prize in Cannes in 1989. Denys Arcand directs.
I recommend this movie to everyone!
