Interview with Mel Gibson on 'The Passion'
Here's a link to Real Audio file of an EWTN interview with Mel Gibson regarding the film he's directing, 'The Passion.' The film, entirely in Aramaic and Latin, recounts the last 12 hours of Christ's life. Gibson, a devout Catholic, says he strove for biblical accuracy, even when it meant including scenes of suffering that would be painful to watch. I can't wait for this film for a number of reasons, including its principle subject, its daring choice of languages and the fact that Gibson's proven himself to be a great visual director. (The interview starts at about 9 minutes, 20 seconds into the file.)
