Condemned by the Pope and banned across Europe and the US, Jean-Luc Godard's (Breathless, Bande à Part) notorious retelling of the birth of Christ is the great French director's most daring cinematic work.In Godard's contemporary twist on the story of the Virgin, the Virgin Mary is a Swiss gas station employee and Joseph her taxi-driving boyfriend. Mary is a beautiful yet ordinary teenager who plays basketball; but who vows to maintain her chastity. Following a warning from an avuncular angel, a confused Mary unexpectedly falls pregnant and is forced to wed her besotted Joseph. He in turn must love his virgin bride from a distance, revering her without touching her.
Hail Mary's lush cinematography captures "ravishing shots of pure luminosity" (All Movie Guide), while the haunting score - with music from Bach, Dvorak and John Coltrane - highlights the richness and poignancy of Godard's controversial classic. With Juliette Binoche, (Choclat, Three Colours Trilogy).
