Mel Gibson is back in the director's chair for the first time since "Braveheart" in 1995, where he took home five Oscars and widespread critical acclaim. Gibson's visual and narrative tour de force "The Passion of The Christ" opens in Denmark on April 2. Here unfolds perhaps the most widespread and universal story in world history, namely the last 12 hours of Jesus' life. Gibson conveys the story with realism, emotional intensity, and visual expressiveness that leaves no one unmoved. The film follows Jesus in the last, troubling and fateful hours leading up to his crucifixion. From the hours after the Last Supper, where Jesus is betrayed by Judas, which leads him into the hands of the Romans, his subsequent torments under Pontius Pilate, to the very last, unyielding minutes when the death sentence is executed and Jesus is nailed to the cross.
