  • "Hypocrites is an amazingly complex film in both narrative and technique, following the parallel stories of an early Christian ascetic and a modern minister, with most actors in dual roles. Gabriel (Courteney Foote) is a medieval monk who devotes himself to completing a statue of "Truth," only to be murdered by a mob when his work turns out to be an image of a naked woman. The contemporary Gabriel is the pastor of a large urban congregation for whom religion is a matter of appearances, not beliefs. The hypocrisy of the congregation is exposed by a series of vignettes in which the Naked truth, literally portrayed by a nude woman, reveals their appetites for money, sex and power."@en

  • "This allegory by one of the foremost women directors of the silent cinema outspokenly attacks the hypocrisy and corruption of the powerful in government, business and the church. The image of Truth, perfected by an ascetic monk during the early years of Christianity in the image of a naked women, holds up a mirror to human nature. The monk is stoned by the villagers for his trouble. He is reincarnated a millenium later only to find the villagers, with the exception of a child and a Magdalene, are still hypocrites."@en
