Maria Madalena

it is not only a religious movie but, in same measure, a beautiful film. for acting, for the new image of Mary - not close by Bible testimony but interesting for a credible story -, for music and landscapes. and, sure, for Maria Grazia Cucinotta who has the admirable science to use her beauty for give nuances and force and light to the lead character in wise manner. a character who becomes alive for her purpose, her expectations, her faith. in same measure, Benjamin Sadler gives a new John the Baptist , different by other versions of Jesus story. and without be better or an error, that fact is real useful. a beautiful film about the roots of an important member of Christ's circle. far by Dan Brown's universe but , for this fact, interesting.
