Jesus Kid (2022): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2022, Jesus Kid is a comedia and wéstern film directed by Aly Muritiba.

What it’s about. Western book writer, Eugenio is going through a difficult phase. He is famous for the novels starring the Jesus Kid, but his sales have been going from bad to worse for some time. The light at the end of the tunnel seems to be a film director's invitation: he wants Eugenio to write a film script. However, to write this script, Eugênio must spend three months isolated in a luxury hotel, without being able to go out or have contact with the world he knows. Based on this premise, Mutarelli builds a scathing critique of the publishing market and the film market — where he has been circulating for years. Bringing to Eugênio much of his own personality, the author shows how the commercial part of culture can be perverse to those who work in it.

Who’s in it. Jesus Kid stars Sergio Marone as Jesus Kid, Maureen Miranda as Nurse, Paulo Miklos as Eugenio and Leandro Daniel Colombo as Chet, among others.
