Overview

Religion has played a significant role in film for as long as the art form has existed. However, scholarly interest in film\'s religious content has recently increased, expanding beyond traditional "high art" films to the more widely distributed and commercially successful movies. Even the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show has religious relevance.
