Bernard de Chanaleilles, le Simon de Cyrène de Burzet

Overview

Every Good Friday, the inhabitants of Burzet, in Ardèche, repeat the Way of the Cross of the Passion of Christ. In 1992, the filmmaker Jean-Pierre Bozon filmed this ceremony at length and met the main characters in this seven-century-old Way of the Cross. Gérard Courant collected and edited the rushes from this filming and made five films. The fourth, Bernard de Chanaleilles, le Simon de Cyrène de Burzet, is an encounter with Bernard de Chanaleilles, interpreter of Simon de Cyrène in the Burzet Passion.
