小众美术馆电影太难找了⋯新约被拍出了摄影馆和装置艺术馆作品的质地，现代主义和表现主义感十足，很多裸体镜头想到纽约学派Saul Leiter. 画面模拟报道暴乱时虚焦抖动的新闻镜，立刻抽离古典庄重感，于是新约故事变成地下组织被警方捣毁，疯子头目被供出并成功抓获，审讯过程中不幸身死。但萨宾的王者郁愤气质导致不由又相信真的是神迹，观感很矛盾。十字架体量巨大，以便俯视镜头看地面蝼蚁们的卑微。他们凝视和沐浴在他的血里，是又折辱唾弃之又热切仰望之的凡人立场。身体上的伤口像波提切利的《圣塞巴斯蒂安的殉教》，美到窒息，看的心悸，论折磨的情色意味。神子、帝王、天才、疯子、野兽、温柔忧郁的人，从此都想不到更合适的人好来演了。
