The jesus rolls2/12/2023 Jesus Quintana, the dancing, purple-clad, trash-talking bowling champion played by John Turturro, was one of the most memorable characters in Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1998 cult film The Big Lebowski, despite less than five minutes of screen time. The Jesus Rolls has a handful of funny moments and includes some amusing one-off cameos, but overall the film is a stilted and pointless affair that has a difficult time justifying its own existence. And those are just the least of the things that don’t add up. Movies rarely get stranger, or more misbegotten, than The Jesus Rolls, which is both a spinoff of the Coen Brothers’ The Big Lebowskiand a remake of the notoriously perverse 1974 French comedy Going Places (Les Valseuses.) The film takes a very West Coast character and puts him in the East, while also transporting an extremely French story to America.
