| The Brand New Testament | comment |
Le Tout Nouveau Testament ("The Brand New Testament") is a Belgian-Luxembourger-French fantasy comedy movie by Jaco Van Dormael (Mr. Nobody) released in 2015.The premise is that God (Benoît Poelvoorde) lives in Brussels and is a bitter, mean supreme being that spends most of his days terrorizing his wife (Yolande Moreau) and his daughter Ea (Pili Groyne) and otherwise inventing new ways of making the life of humans miserable.This changes after one day, Ea sneaks into his office and sends to every human a text that reveals the exact moment of their death. She then proceeds to flee her home (through a washing machine) to gather her apostles and announce her Gospel (just like her big brother JC did).Catherine Deneuve and François Damiens also star as Ea's apostles. | |

Trauma Conga Line | |
| The Brand New Testament / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: God deliberately puts as many members of the human race through this as possible. And then he ends up going through one himself; having the stuffing kicked out of him multiple times, getting deported, almost dying twice, getting locked out of his own home and being reduced to repairing washing machines for all eternity. | |

Like You Were Dying | |
| The Brand New Testament / int_80523de9 | comment |
Like You Were Dying: Learning the exact date of their death leads people to be more open about what they want and more willing to achieve it, particularly if they don't have much time left. For example, Martine decides to break out of her dull marriage and have an affair, while Willy lives the rest of his days as a girl. | |
