The Legend Maker

Alan Figg, (real name: Alexi Figopoulos), has worked as a professional forger for over 30 years, from Greece to Guadeloupe, from Poland to Portugal, and is now back in Brunswick where he started all those years ago. Figg prides himself on the fact that he always delivers for his clients - who range from embezzlers to murderers, from the Ukrainian mafia to the South African criminal network based out of Perth - forging passports, bank accounts, university degrees, credit cards, and basically anything that's required to create a new identity and a new life. But Figg is getting old and his tradecraft is beginning to slip. He becomes aware of this when a thug known as the Croat gives him an ultimatum: Work for him 'exclusively' or be rubbed out. Figg isn't intimated easily but this scares the bejesus out of him. But Figg realizes that something doesn't smell right, there's more to this than meets the eye. He needs to figure out what's behind the Croat's threat. To buy time he instructs his assistant, Roy, to conduct business as usual, hoping the Croat will slip-up. In the course of the next twenty-four hours a parade of clients passes through Figg's office. First in is a poncy academic who needs to leave Melbourne and hide out in Italy to avoid arrest for embezzling over two million dollars. Next comes a pathetic individual in his early 30's who killed his son in an accident and is unable to face his family and society's opprobrium. A ballsy woman follows, Yussipova, from the Ukraine. She deals in dodgy credit cards and bank scams. She is desperate to re-vamp her finances after being swindled by a slut from Moldavia. Is one of them in cahoots with the Croat? Who knows! No-one in this game is who they seem to be. When the Croat finally makes his move and kidnaps Roy, Figg bursts into action. Not even Figg could have predicted what eventually goes down.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
