Dark Alley Reinterprets “The Last Supper” In “Passio”

NEW YORK - Dark Alley is taking on "the greatest story ever told" with their upcoming flick, "Passio."

Director Matthias von Fistenberg said, "My scenes of the Last Supper offer a radically new interpretation. I maintained the color palette and meticulous composition from Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, yet I was more inspired by the elegant grouping of figures portrayed by another Renaissance master, Jacopo Bassano. Here is Jesus depicted in the company of men only, the stunned expression on his face giving way to the friendly affections of his disciples. One thing leads to another and soon everything in the entire feast smacks of a brilliant mise-en-scène."

Christian groups were up in arms this past week regarding an ad for the Folsom Street Fair depicting the Last Supper as attended by leather daddies, drag queens, and lesbians.

Dark Alley exclusive Danny Fox portrays Jesus at various points in his life in "Passio."
