Au nom du Christ is a 1993 film from Côte d'Ivoire.

Synopsis

In this scathing satirical drama that takes place in a village of West Africa, an untutored pig-keeper who has been thrown out of his home falls into a river and has a vision which sends him back to his people to save them for Jesus Christ, introducing himself as Magloire I, “the cousin of Christ.” A little crazy, a little robber, while some think he is a charlatan and others think he is a prodigy, he reigns as an absolute master and pushes his convictions to extremes, like being crucified. This movie recalls with humour the proliferation of sects and the outrageous acts they can convey in a continent like Africa, tossed about tradition, modernity and power.

Didier, Georges et Philippe sont nés le même jour, à la même heure, dans la même pièce, alors que la Seconde Guerre mondiale touchait à sa fin. Quelques années plus tard, les trois garçons courtisent Édina que ces marques d'affection laissent tout à fait indifférente, au point qu'elle n'hésite pas à les dénoncer lorsqu'ils se font trop pressants. À trente ans, pourtant, les trois amis n'ont toujours pas atteint leur but et ils se désespèrent d'y parvenir un jour, d'autant qu'Édina a bel et bien disparu. Abandonnant alors l'idée de vivre sans elle, les trois hommes se lancent à sa recherche et finissent par la retrouver en butte aux avances d'un photographe de mode dont ils se débarrassent laborieusement après avoir échappé à trois minettes énamourées : Patricia, Carole et Minette. Et pourtant, pas plus qu'avant, la « Belle » ne consent à les aimer.

Seventeen-year-old Ben Marshall is the sensitive, poetry-writing son of complacent and emasculated Robert, a vicar obsessed with ornithology, and domineering overbearing mother Laura, whose strong religious beliefs lead her to perform numerous charitable acts while ignoring the emotional needs of her own family, such as forcing Ben to deliver meals on wheels despite his having no car. Her faith does not, however, hinder her from engaging in an affair with Peter, a young curate portraying Jesus Christ in the church pageant she is directing.
