Overview | description: (NR) COLUMBIA/TRI-STAR, 1999, 135 Minutes Starring: Ben Affleck, George Carlin, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, Salma Hayek Director: Kevin Smith All Movie Guide rating: Would you believe that the last living descendent of Jesus Christ is a woman working at an abortion clinic in New Jersey? And that she's been sent on a holy mission with two minor characters from Clerks and Mallrats as her guides? Prepare to suspend any and all disbelief as you watch the religious satire Dogma, the fourth film from writer/director Kevin Smith. Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) has been disappointed in life and has found her faith severely tested after her husband leaves her when she discovers she cannot have children. So Bethany is all the more puzzled when she's approached by Metatron (Alan Rickman), a grumpy angel. Metatron wants her to help him stop Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), two fallen angels who were ejected from paradise and have escaped from exile and are heading to New Jersey. If they are able to pass through the arc of a certain church, it will prove God is fallible and the world will come to a swift end. Bethany has no idea what to do or why she's been given this project, but she heads out anyway, with her assigned assistants Jay (Jason Mewes), an appallingly rude former dope dealer and self-styled ladies man, and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith). Along the way, Bethany picks up more helpers, including a celestial muse named Serendipity (Salma Hayek) and Rufus (Chris Rock), who claims to have been the 13th apostle and that Jesus owes him $12. Boasting a huge supporting cast (including George Carlin, Jason Lee, Janeane Garofalo, Bud Cort, and Alanis Morissette (as God), Dogma proved to be highly controversial even before its release. Miramax Pictures, owned by Disney, financed the film, but several weeks before Dogma's world premier at the Cannes Film Festival, they announced they would not release the picture and intended to sell it to another distributor. Director Smith, however, has always contended that Dogma is a film about the importance of faith, if not organized religion. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Starring Cast Ben Affleck: Bartleby George Carlin: Cardinal Glick Matt Damon: Loki Linda Fiorentino: Bethany Salma Hayek: Serendipity Supporting Cast Jason Lee: Azrael Jason Mewes: Jay Alan Rickman: Metatron Chris Rock: Rufus Bud Cort: John Doe Jersey Alanis Morissette: Woman-God Kevin Smith: Silent Bob Jeff Anderson: Gun Salesman Brian O'Halloran: Reporter Janeane Garofalo: Clinic Girl Betty Aberlin: Nun Dan Etheridge: Priest At St. Stephens Guinevere Turner: Bus Station Attnedant Barrett Hackney: Stygian Triplet Jared Pfennigwerth: Stygian Triplet Kitao Sakurai: Stygian Triplet Production Credits Kevin Smith: Director / Screenwriter / Editor Scott Mosier: Producer / Editor / Second Unit Director Robert Yeoman: Cinematographer Howard Shore: Composer (Music Score) Robert "Ratface" Holtzman: Production Designer Elise G.
