Scorsese pal Paul Schrader weighs in on The Passion and he says it’s “disturbing.” Or, at least, that’s the impression you’d get from reading the headline of the above article. Looking at the quote it’s based on, however, you would learn that in fact, it’s the film’s audience that Schrader describes as, “an interesting and disturbing phenomenon.” My interest piqued by this bit of wordplay, I did what all good Americans do when they want the real story. I visited the website of a foreign newspaper. The UK’s Guardian ran a story about Schrader’s remarks, and I think you’ll find their account a bit more enlightening.
