Abstract
Jean-Luc Godard’s film Hail Mary [Je vous salue, Marie] emerged in the 1980’s at the peak of Pope John II Pontificate, took for itself the anathema’s dark clouds, excommunication. The anger motivated in many Christianism sectors endures until today in the minds of many cinephiles. Twenty-six years later, this article intends to meet Godard’s theological construction of Mary’s Angel Annunciation as the mother of Jesus. Was Hail Mary merely a provocative challenge to the mystery of Christ’s Incarnation, with a purely commercial intent?
