Description
Peter Greenaway: Joseph explores the story of Christ's beginning and end through a unique lens. A six-year-old girl's question about Jesus' parentage sparks the idea for this script, which reimagines events in a way that may not contradict canonical wisdom but rather offers an alternative perspective. The Bible is known to be an edited record of the product of priests who sought to establish a new religion based on a new Messiah. In this context, ambitious Judean priests devise a plan to have God copulate with a mortal female, producing a son who will become a leader of men. However, if God were to fall mortally in love, he would be vulnerable to jealousy, especially with a rival on earth named Joseph. This film script presents a possible scenario that may challenge traditional understandings of the story. With its unique approach, it invites readers to consider alternative perspectives on this pivotal moment in history.
