Eli, Eli, lamma sabachtani?
19748 minFilm: Documentary
Direction: André-Marcel Gagnon
Production: François Séguillon
Script: André-Marcel Gagnon
The cry from the cross echoed in a film parable, told without words, where sculptured figures of the anguished Christ mix with contemporary scenes of city life. The musical accompaniment is a Dies Irae in memory of the victims of Auschwitz. Religious processions suggest spiritual insight; scenes in city parks or streets reflect the bland tolerance of human suffering.
