DOGMA is a satirical fantasy comedy that follows two fallen angels, Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), who discover a loophole that would allow them to return to Heaven, which would inadvertently undo the creation of the universe. A woman named Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), who is struggling with her faith, is tasked with stopping them before their plan succeeds. Along the way, she is joined by various characters, including a muse, a seraphim and a group of unlikely allies — all as they battle against the forces of heaven and hell. Directed by Kevin Smith, the film combines dark humor, theological questions and absurdity to explore topics of faith, redemption and religious mythology. After 25 years off the market, DOGMA returns in this new 4K remaster — and includes exclusive bonus content only available in theaters. Also starring Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Bud Cort, George Carlin, Jason Lee, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith.
“This movie takes theological matters out of the hands of ‘spokesmen’ and entrusts them to — well, the unwashed. And goes so far as to suggest that God loves them. And is a Canadian.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times (Nov 12, 1999) “The first commandment of DOGMA: Thou shalt not stop laughing.” —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone “This deliriously audacious, one-of-a-kind satirical passion play is as rascally in its glee as anything in Mad magazine, yet it’s also a searching and obsessive meditation on faith in our time…. A wild and intricate theological debate, a Sunday-school catechism session turned into a snap-crackle-and-pop thrill sermon for the mind. Smith conjures up a bickering party of angels, demons, apostles, and prophets, and it’s like seeing one of Lenny Bruce’s organized-religion routines come to life.” —Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly (Nov 12, 1999)
