A social movie about current life in the north of France. Freddy and his friends are all unemployed. They pass away time by wandering around on their motorcycles and by directing their aggressive feelings towards Arab immigrants. Freddy is in love with Marie, a cashier at a local supermarket. When she is proposed to by Kader, a young Arab man, Freddy and his friends have an idea: they decide to punish Kader for what they call "such a provocation." After they have raped another girl, Marie finally commits to Kader, which seals his fate.

"3.1. Jossain määrin Dumontin hahmoista oli todella vaikea saada kiinni, ja jossain määrin hahmot olivat taas oikeinkin hurmaavia. Mikä The Life of Jesusissa on ongelmana, on se, että kaikkein kömpelöin hahmo on myös sen päähahmo.

"6.1 Dumont/Ranska Bruno Dumontin esikoisteoksessa hengaillaan ranskalaisen pikkukylän ammareiden kanssa, mikä on virkistävää. On mukavaa nähdä, että tollojen nuorisolaisten autonrassailu, ulkopuolisille isottelu ja veljellinen norkoilu röökipaikalla ovat yleisinhimillisiä ilmiöitä.
