| Summary: | Catherine O’Brien’s The Celluloid Madonna. From Scripture to Screen is the first extended, published study of the character of Mary, mother of Jesus, in film, spanning a whole century of cinematic history. With her book, O’Brien aims to counterbalance the numerous academic texts on the figure of Jesus in film. Acknowledging her indebtedness to the work of the Marian Research Institute of the University of Dayton, Ohio, O’Brien sets out to offer a detailed study of the life of Mary in film, profiling Mary’s role as ‘one of the most intriguing opportunities for spiritual reflection’. |
