The Brand New Testament

In this whimsical and imaginative film directed by Jaco Van Dormael, God is portrayed as a grumpy and petty figure living in Brussels with his young daughter, Ea. Disillusioned by her father’s antics, Ea decides to rewrite the world by sending text messages to everyone on Earth, revealing their death dates. This sets off a chain of events that leads her to recruit six new apostles to create a brand new testament. The film features a talented cast, including Benoît Poelvoorde and Catherine Deneuve, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.
