Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia It was rumored for years that the trailer for this film was by Jean-Luc Godard, and he has recently confirmed this by programming it in a self-curated retrospective of his work. The trailer is virtually a miniature essay on (or subversion of) the film, jarringly inter-cutting excerpts from it with a written commentary that calls it "Christian and sadistic." See more »
