Thanks for the flag, Anna. Well done.
=== See it in the Spirit, see it in the flesh, but for a moment at least see it simply as art.
Probably one of the most magnificent works of Christian art we've had in some time ... particularly given the rank ugliness of most churches, the desacralization of sanctuaries, and the "modern art" ritual deformation and vivisection of the human being.
Glad to hear you sound this note as well.
(And I too won't feel I've really seen it until I've seen it at least twice. One heads up even three or four viewings probably wouldn't have allowed me to notice: Jesus responds to Pilate in Latin. Nice touch, I thought.)

Just an aside Askel but I haven't been on FRep for awhile and I miss your posts...

All I could think of as I thought of the critics' faux outrage was "meathook art", lik that flayed cow exhibit that made the rounds. And they give it grants.

I actually caught that, odd considering I know neither language. I will probably see it probably three times in the theatre, something I've never done before, the third time on Holy Thursday. Hopefully by then I'll be able to ignore the subtitles altogether.
Blessings!
