"In 1962 Pier Paolo Pasolini received a suspended sentence for his allegedly blasphemous contribution to the portmanteau film Rogopag, a brilliant sketch satirizing biblical movies," writes Philip French in his brief review of the new Masters of Cinema release of The Gospel According to St Matthew in today's Observer. "Two years later the gay, Marxist atheist showed the world how a life of Christ should be made, and it is a magnificent achievement, far superior to Scorsese's or Gibson's films."
David Jenkins in Little White Lies: "Essentially a 'straight' retelling of the life of Christ (who is played with fervent intensity by Enrique Irazoqui), which, on its surface, seldom editorializes or strays towards controversy, the film was fully embraced by the religious community to the extent that a colorized version was made to capitalize on the Bible belt buck.

French actor Romain Duris has signed on for the project, which has now been revealed as an adaptation of Boris Vian's 1947 novel L'Écume des Jours. Translated in English as Froth on the Daydream or Foam on the Daze, it's a bittersweet, offbeat romance that sounds like a perfect fit for Gondry's playful sensibility. Read more after the jump. The project will be a reunion for Duris and Tautou, who've previously starred together in Cédric Klapisch's L'Auberge Espagnole and its sequel, Russian Dolls. Although Duris isn't very well known in the States yet, he's much better known in his native country. His notable roles include The Beat That My Heart Skipped...
