Hail Mary (French: Je vous salue, Marie) is a 1985 French avant-garde erotic drama film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

The film is a modern retelling of the story of the virgin birth. It was entered into the 35th Berlin International Film Festival.

Hail Mary's religious themes and scenes of full frontal nudity offended some Christians.

Pope John Paul II criticized the film saying that it "deeply wounds the religious sentiments of believers."

Protesters showed up at some theaters on opening night, and its premiere screening at the Sydney Film Festival was disrupted by protestors and a bomb threat that caused the theatre to be evacuated.

The film had only 353,877 admissions in French movie theaters.

It was banned in Argentina and Brazil (where the movie was banned until 1988).

Hail Mary received mixed reviews, including one in the New York Times that characterized the film as "not especially provocative or entertaining", but also called it "an utterly serious attempt to examine the nature of relations between women and men and the possibility of profound friendships not based on sex. It's also about the demands of faith, which, in this time of cynicism, may be the most truly controversial aspect of the movie."

Many other serious critics were more favourable: Time Out said "Composed like a brilliant mosaic, Godard's film gives fresh meaning to everyday images; makes us listen to Dvořák with renewed appreciation; and shows the female nude as though never filmed before."

Channel 4 Film's critic wrote "The Virgin Birth is presented as a reality - the mystery for Godard being womanhood and birth in general. This he explores through stunning images of nature and the nude figure of his heroine - the latter photographed chastely without voyeurism or sexism, after certain classic paintings."

Filmmaker John Waters wrote a highly favorable review that was included in his book Crackpot. In contrast, writer and director James Gunn claims it is his least favorite film he has seen.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Noël Godin, disappointed that Godard, in his opinion, made a religious film, threw a shaving cream pie into Godard's face, making international news.

Under heavy criticism, Godard attempted to withdraw the film from Italy, but his distributor was unable to do so.

He also claimed that the film is not about the Virgin Mary, but about "a young woman named Mary who, at a certain moment in her life, finds herself part of an exceptional event that she would never have wished for herself."

Despite the initial heavy criticism, the film has also been praised for its beautiful cinematography.
