(The films are collectively released under the title Hail Mary.) The interpretative essays offer a rich spectrum of analysis and opinion representing many divergent points of view about critical theory, the status of women, and the value of film as a medium. Locke and Warren also include two important interviews with Godard, brief biographies and complete filmographies of Godard and Miéville, a short breakdown of the two films including the English subtitles, and the script of the French dialogue to complete a remarkably comprehensive treatment of this important film.The only film based on the biblical story of the Virgin Mary, Godards Hail Mary is a contemporary Swiss\/French representation of Marys virgin pregnancy, the birth of her son, and her relationship with Joseph and her young child. Miévilles companion film is about a young girl named Mary whose parents get a divorce. While neither film is overtly religious, the initial release of Hail Mary brought public protests, court cases, a physical attack on Godard, and condemnation by the Pope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894001467680,"sku":"NEW0809318911","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81xX175ht6L.jpg?v=1782013029","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/jean-luc-godards-hail-mary-women-and-the-sacred-in-film-0809318911","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
