José Cristo

2018 · 70 min

A scrappy, deadpan farce that coasts on cheeky small-town hustle and low-budget charm rather than big laughs.

Overview: JC is a lazy young man called to fight for his country in the current war, to avoid recruitment, he creates a religious cult and incidentally, earning some money along the way.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Faith, deception, greed, war
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
