REVIEW: RELIGULOUS
02/15/09
Religulous, one of the most
critically-acclaimed films of the year as well as the
highest grossing documentary of the year arrives on DVD from
Lionsgate. This fascinating film follows comedian and TV
host Bill Maher (HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” TV’s
“Politically Incorrect”) as he travels around the world
interviewing people about God and religion. Known for his
astute analytical skills and irreverent wit, Maher brings
his characteristic honesty to an unusual spiritual journey.
Produced by Jonah Smith, Palmer West and Bill Maher, and
directed by Larry Charles (Borat, HBO’s “Curb Your
Enthusiasm”), Religulous has been worshiped by critics
across the nation garnering such praise as “one of the
funniest and most offensive documentaries ever made” (New
York Post), “highly provocative” (Larry King), “brilliant”
(Variety), “hellishly hilarious” (Rolling Stone),
“laugh-out-loud outrageous” (Associated Press) and “fearless
as a fatwa and as subtle as a second coming…a revelation”
(Orlando Sentinel). The DVD special features include audio
commentary with Bill Maher and Larry Charles, deleted scenes
plus new monologues with Bill Maher filmed at eight
different locations visited while making the film.
Religulous will be available on February 17, 2009.
In Religulous, Bill Maher takes a pilgrimage across the
globe on a mind-opening journey into the ultimate taboo:
questioning religion. Meeting the high and low from
different religions, Maher simply asks questions, like “Why
is faith good?” “Why doesn’t an all-powerful God speak to us
directly?” and “How can otherwise rational people believe in
a talking snake?” For anyone who’s even a little spiritually
curious, this divine entertainment will deepen your
faith...in comedy!
