This movie has the aura of an Ingmar Bergman production, with
a series of twists and turns in the plot and thought-provoking
motifs. It is based on the novel by Selma Lagerlof, and portrays
Swedish peasant life around the turn of the 20th
Christian
viewers of this movie will likely be interested in the themes
of: mainline versus apocalyptic-sectarian faith, authority and
power, discerning the truth, suffering and sacrifice, love and
forgiveness. I highly recommend Jerusalem because of theological
grist for the the mill that it provides. (submitted by The Rev.
