That was a lot better. Au nom du Christ is not as heavy as the title initially suggested, but it is actually quite entertaining and the story is straightforward: a drunken pig farmer falls into the crash, and he sees the Light. He sees himself as the new prophet, calls himself Magloire I and although on the one hand he really seems to believe it himself, he quickly becomes more and more colorful in the course of the film. With commandments such as 'you shall let your wife sleep with the prophet' and 'you shall give half of your harvest to your prophet', and all kinds of miracles attributed to him. And despite that, this idiot still gets a good collection of villagers. Entertaining story, nice setting, and with a modest running time, it's fun to keep watching this satire on gullibility and organized religion.
