Rating: 3/5 --
It's just as silly as it sounds, but it's also a joyous celebration of heresy from a country that deserves a good laugh.

Weird, wonderful, and with plenty of soul, The Brand New Testament shows that a simple idea - and a little chutzpah - can go a very long way.

Boulder Weekly
[A] surreal comedy whose endless visual imagination matches its conceptual wit.

Rating: B+ --
The best way to talk about religion in film is with the tongue firmly planted in cheek. The Belgian film THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT is just that, but with flares of magic.

Product Description:
This comic fantasy imagines that God is actually a grumpy man living in Brussels (Benoît Poelvoorde) with his wife and ten-year-old daughter Ea (Pili Groyne). When Ea gets fed up with her dad's cruel ways, she decides to leak a file from his computer that says when everyone on Earth is scheduled to die. At the same time, she searches for six apostles of her own in order to help humanity. Directed by Jaco van Dormael.
