2000 · Film
Released in 2000, Heaven is a notable film directed by Jean-Sébastien Lord.
What it’s about. Heaven is a place with crumbling ceilings, an aging Jesus, and angels and saints entertained by human sexuality. On earth, Christmas, 1999, Jacques, who's dying of cancer, meets Sophie, pregnant and abandoned. Her babies and his death are due in the spring. Jacques runs a cabaret facing bankruptcy because his landlord insists on a 15-minute speech about Jesus every evening by the boring Bernard, and all the customers leave. Jacques prays for Bernard's removal: Heaven arranges a car crash. Jacques keeps a tape recorder handy, narrating his final days, focused on composing memorable last words. In Heaven, the dead Bernard keeps watch over Jacques and Sophie, with saving effect.
Who’s in it. Heaven stars Jocelyn Blanchard as Jacques, Julien Poulin as Jésus, Julie La Rochelle as Julie and Sonia Vachon as Gisèle, among others.
