The Life of Jesus

The Life of Jesus (1997) evokes a strong sense of Sadness and Melancholy due to its bleak portrayal of unemployment and social despair in northern France. The audience experiences significant Anger and Disgust towards the characters' racist aggression and violent acts, particularly the rape. Empathy is high for the victims, especially Kader and Marie, as their tragic romance unfolds amidst prejudice. A pervasive feeling of Anxiety and Disturbing unease underscores the narrative, leading to a sense of inevitable tragedy rather than hope or joy.
