...Munch by Himself" is billed as a survey of the artist's self-portraiture. But whether nailed to a cross in Golgotha (1900) or lying in a pool of blood as the assassinated French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat in Marat's Death I (1907), Munch remains elusive, instead appearing in different metaphorical guises. There he is, too, leaning on a railing beneath a blood red sky in Despair (1892), an obvious precursor to The Scream...

Idle tops this with the immortal music-hall cheerer...
...Gibson's "Passion," this is the Jesus film that goes heaviest on the torture. In the scourging at the pillar, Pilate counts out the 39 lashes as if he's an auctioneer at an SM club. Jewison gets into the act, showing the raising of Jesus' cross on Golgotha in an overlapping quartet of shots from different angles, extending the action as Jackie Chan would later do with his more lavish stunts.
