The Ceremony of the Senses (1979)
Crime, Drama • 1h 30m
A young accident victim falls unconscious in his hospital bed. His subconscious projects it into a world where he is the new Messiah. There he will live many terrible, decadent adventures and within a corrupt society until his crucifixion. The reincarnation of Messiah is fighting against a totalitarian and fascist society. Soon he will become a danger to the political, legal or religious leaders, who obscenely conjure in order to keep on exercising repression, corruption and deprivation on the people, while indulging in the worst orgiastic excesses. He relives some episodes of the Gospel in a modern way. Except that the sins of Mary Magdalene are also described in great detail.
