Mary
Mary

In a tumultuous world post-11-S, three people?s paths cross around the figure of Christ. Tony, a self-centred filmmaker, is in Israel directing a movie personifying Jesus. Marie, who plays Mary Magdalene in the film, sets out on an interior voyage influenced by her character. And Ted, a journalist with religious doubts, makes a TV programme about Christ featuring Tony and Marie.

Abel Ferrara
New York, 1951. Having made a number of underground movies, some of which have never been screened in Europe, in 1990 Ferrara became a cult author with King of New York. Bad Lieutenant (1992), The Addiction (1995) and The Funeral (1996) were essential titles in the 90s. His previous movie, ?R Xmas, dates from 2001, and he is now working on Go Go Tales. The San Sebastian Festival is dedicating its this year?s retrospective on a contemporary director to him.
