— What is a revival? Is it a church? Is it a religion? Or is it a circus sideshow complete with freaks, magic, and rabble-rousing? Why does a revival attract thousands? To see a miracle? To be saved from a lifetime of sin in five minutes? To be entertained, cured, cuddled, in quick, painless salvation? Zenith is the heart of the Bible Belt. This is an age that likes noise and whoopee. We’re a fertile land for corn, beans, squash, rumble-seat sex, and revivalism. Hallelujah, brother.

On vous propose ici de cogiter un peu sur une série de thèmes intemporels — religion, pensée de groupe, effets de foule, autosuggestion, cynisme, humanisme, dévouement, rédemption, fatalité — sans jamais tomber dans le simplisme. Vos convictions ou vos doutes en sortiront indemnes, mais vous aurez eu droit à deux heures de grand cinoche.
