The article recalls the controversial movie ´Je vous salue Marie´ by Jean-Luc Godard from the 1985, which follows the biblical story of the immaculate conception of Virgin Mary – framed inside a contemporary culture – from its psychological, as well as theological point of view. History, proclaimed with a typical sharp symbolism and intellectualism of the French ´New Wave´ cinema, is a masterpiece offering not only new philosophical insights into a biblical mystery of incarnation but also a hypothetical story of a chosen girl, as it would have very probably happened in the twentieth century. This movie was often misunderstood but above all not studied and analyzed as it deserved. Godard´s work with camera, music, and especially with symbols are magnificent, his message hopeful, sweet, and respecting the Holy Writ. After Marxist Pasolini, the French director, who claimed to be an unbeliever, has left us a picture worthy of rediscovery and particularly of deeper thinking.
