This article presents the study of two recent Chilean films (La pasión de Michelangelo, Esteban Larrain, 2012, and El Cristo ciego (Christopher Murray, 2016)), starring two characters endowed with christic characteristics. Both films are ambivalent in the face of the religious phenomenon: on the one hand, they invalidate the possibility of a miracle and therefore of faith; on the other hand, they keep open the possibility of an irruption of the divine (in the form of a final theophany) in a markedly dehistoricized context.
