As far as the Aramaic and Latin goes, I would hazard a guess that Passion has to be the highest grossing foreign language film in American history.
Would I recommend this film? I don't know. It's become an event, so it's probably worth seeing just to find out for yourself what everyone is talking about. This movie is very clearly not appropriate for any child under, oh, 18 or so (and probably more than a few adults). For me, the most powerful moments in the film were watching the reactions of Mary to the sufferings of Jesus — much more so than any of the physical aspects of Jesus’ own physical abuse.
