In this “irreverent and wildly inventive” 2016 Golden Globe nominee from Belgium, God exists and lives in a dreary high-rise apartment building in Brussels. There he spends much of his time tormenting humankind, when he isn’t doing the same to his longsuffering wife and young daughter, Ea. The latter eventually turns the tables on her twisted father when she sends everyone the exact dates of their deaths from her father’s omniscient home computer. Escaping from the clutches of her furious father, the young heroine gathers a misfit set of apostles and sets out to right his wrongs, writing her own New Testament in the process. Co-starring the great Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour) and actor and comedian Benoît Poelvoorde (Man Bites Dog), The Brand New Testament is a “sweet and blasphemous satire,” in the words of The Guardian.
Director Jaco Van Dormael 2015 Belgium/France/Luxembourg 115 minutes NR DCP
