Messiah

Taglines

Overview

Filmmaker William Klein takes on Handel’s Messiah and has created a concert film that mixes the sacred with the profane. Performed in its entirety, the oratorio provides a narrative of Christ’s nativity, passion and resurrection juxtaposed against images of absurdities and abuses against the human species across the world. The film reveals a wide array of worshippers from the Bodybuilders of Christ to the Lavender Light Gay and Lesbian Interracial Choir to the Dallas police choir.

Title

Le Messie

Taglines

Overview

Tout le monde connaît l'oratorio de Haendel, ici on découvre le Messie de William Klein. L'oratorio est une institution aux Etats-Unis, où innombrables sont les choeurs qui le chantent. La caméra de Klein va les chercher partout, dans les lieux les plus improbables : à Times Square, où se réunit le choeur homosexuel et multiracial de NY, dans une prison de Sugarland, Texas, où les prisonniers entonnent "Un enfant est né, un fils nous est donné", ou encore à Las Vegas, au milieu du nulle part des salles de jeux.
