Jesus of Montreal (French: Jésus de Montréal) is a 1989 film by Quebec film director Denys Arcand. It is currently distributed in North America by Koch-Lorber FilmsThe film revolves around a group of actors in Montreal hired to present a passion play, with an actor named Daniel playing the role of Christ. However, their interpretation of the life of Jesus is unconventional, and although the production becomes the toast of the city, the Catholic Church strongly objects to its biblical interpretation and attempts to stop the players.
The film is structured so that Daniel's story parallels that of Christ. In the opening scene, one actor points to Daniel, calling him "a much better actor", which echoes John the Baptist foretelling the arrival of Jesus the messiah.

The actors then gather for the passion play, some of them leaving safe jobs to do so, recalling Jesus gathering the disciples....,
