Greaser's Palace is a satirical and psychedelic film directed by Robert Downey Sr., released in 1972. While not based directly on the life of Christ, it incorporates elements loosely inspired by biblical stories and explores themes of redemption, sacrifice, and divine intervention. Here are some additional plot details:
The film takes place in the wild west, specifically in a small New Mexican town. There, a peculiar figure named Jessy (played by Allan Arbus) descends from the sky in a silver spaceship, landing in a town called Greaser's Palace.
Jessy, who resembles Jesus Christ, becomes known as "Jessy the Christ" as his presence and actions bear similarities to biblical stories. Throughout the film, Jessy performs miracles, accompanied by a series of bizarre encounters and interactions with the town's inhabitants.
At Greaser's Palace, Jessy encounters a corrupt, cruel local leader named Seaweedhead Greaser (played by Albert Henderson). Greaser seeks to exploit Jessy's supposed divine powers for his personal gain, encouraging him to perform miracles in exchange for money.
Amidst the chaos and absurdity, Jessy embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. He encounters a variety of eccentric characters, including a stripper named Cholera (played by Hervé Villechaize), and encounters various biblical references and symbols.
As the story progresses, Jessy faces temptations, skepticism, and ultimately meets his fate in a manner reminiscent of the crucifixion, albeit with some humorous twists here and there. The film explores themes of faith, doubt, and the complexities of human nature in its own unconventional and trippy way.
Greaser's Palace, though outrageous and unconventional, uses its satirical lens to examine themes of spirituality and human behavior. Its irreverent approach challenges traditional notions of storytelling, delivering an offbeat commentary on societal norms and our relationship with the divine.
