Twenty-five years ago, Kevin Smith unleashed Dogma, a sharp, irreverent religious satire that sparked conversation, controversy, and cult fandom around the world. In this remastered 4K edition, Dogma: Resurrected!, reintroduces the story of Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon) two banished angels who seek to exploit a theological loophole and return to Heaven, thereby inadvertently nullifying all of existence. A reluctant abortion clinic worker (Linda Fiorentino) is tasked with stopping them, guided by a heavenly host that includes the last scion of Christ, a muse, a pair of prophets, and the voice of God. With its razor-sharp dialogue, philosophical underpinnings, and genre-blending boldness, Dogma remains as provocative and funny now as it was in 1999, if not more so.
Director’s Statement - I made Dogma in 1999 as a lapsed Catholic searching for peace with my spiritual baggage. It was the biggest, riskiest, most ambitious movie I’d made at the time and the one I’m still asked about most. Religion is a sensitive subject, but so is humor, and Dogma aimed to bring both into the same space with heart, wit, and reverence for irreverence. Revisiting it 25 years later, I am overwhelmed by the relevance of its questions and the courage of its cast. This remastered edition is not just a restoration, it’s a resurrection. For all the fans who could not find it streaming, or who passed around bootlegs to keep the movie alive, this is for you.
