The essay presents Manivel’s film Magdala (2022) as the latest example of the contemporary reception of biblical stories and characters. In the French director’s film, inspired by medieval legends, Magdalene is an elderly woman of Jamaican descent, who lives – as a solitary ascetic – in the woods of southern France. In this setting, Magdalene’s “passion” for Jesus seems to translate into a “panic” feeling of immersion in nature.

In this setting, Magdalene’s “passion” for Jesus seems to translate into a “panic” feeling of immersion in nature.File in questo prodotto:
