Antonio Banderas, a Jesuit priest?
Rented a movie called “The Body” (2001) that I don’t remembering hearing about. It has Antonio Banderas playing a Jesuit priest, investigating a crucified body found by an archeologist in Jerusalem. In the spirit of religious conspiracy fiction like The Da Vinci Code (2006), it explores the ramifications of finding the buried body of Jesus for Christianity and Palestinian-Israeli relations.
It could have had a better developed storyline. It ended too suddenly. But I especially like the interaction between the Jesuit priest (Banderas) and the Dominican priest. Personally, I thought the faith of the more mystical Dominican would withstand the challenge.
–– Interesting movie. Banderas was a pretty convincing Jesuit. 🙂
