摘要：What would a religious film look and feel like in a post-religious world. 1 This is the question guiding the argument of this paper. Such a film would need to offer its audience a religious experience not as the defining feature of this world, but as an "otherwise" possibility. Is such an experience possible in today's cinema. Can the cinematic "apparatus" 2 — the figurations, gestures, technical codes and modes of address whereby film announces itself as film — offer its audience an experience equivalent to the kind of experience offered by religion itself.
