Summary of Mary

Veteran director Abel Ferrara (THE BAD LIEUTENANT) recruits a roster of Oscar winners--Juliette Binoche, Forest Whitaker, and Marion Cotillard--for this film that examines the worlds of moviemaking and religion. Matthew Modine (WEEDS) stars as Tony, the director behind a film about the life of Jesus. In Jerusalem, his star Marie (Binoche) is exhausted after playing Mary Magdalene, and the spirit of the ancient woman has taken over the actress's body. A world away, New York reporter Ted (Whitaker) is making his own religious discoveries in his efforts to make a documentary about Jesus. Soon, Tony's film becomes the object of scorn for a group of religious people, and Tony, Marie, and Ted are drawn together.
