129 mins - United States 1999 Director: Kevin Smith Starring: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Linda FiorentinoIn 1999 Kevin Smith unleashed DOGMA, a sharp, irreverent religious satire that sparked conversation, controversy, and cult fandom around the world. In this remastered edition, DOGMA: RESURRECTED!, reintroduces the story of Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon) two banished angels who seek to exploit a theological loophole and return to Heaven, thereby inadvertently nullifying all of existence. A reluctant abortion clinic worker (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked with stopping them, guided by a heavenly host that includes the last scion of Christ, a muse, a pair of prophets, and the voice of God.
With its razor-sharp dialogue, philosophical underpinnings, and genre-blending boldness, Dogma remains as provocative and funny now as it was in 1999, if not more so. DOGMA: RESURRECTED! will be followed by a pre-recorded 26-minute Q&A. “A thoughtful satire of the institutions that warp people's faith.” Screen Rant
