Jesus is a Palestinian (Dutch: Jezus is een Palestijn) is a 1999 Dutch comedy written and directed by Lodewijk Crijns. The parody on religious fanaticism and millennialism, which involves the topics of self mutilation, incest, and euthanasia, is the director’s first full-length movie. It premiered at the 1999 International Film Festival Rotterdam.
Synopsis: Ramses, a somewhat shy 20-year old boy living in a communal cult, gets permission to leave to visit his dying father.
Jesus is een Palestijn totally takes the piss at religious cults both for the unquestionable faith and the money they ask from their followers.Hans Teeuwen, a stand-up comedian in real life, is very disarming as the friendly and somewhat naive Ramses, stuck under the “tiranny” of his Indian guru and his blind followers. Kim van Kooten manages to make a convincing dominating and bitchy sister. Cast: Dijn Blom .
