Part of The Reel Jesus Film Festival
“A
series of films and forums exploring the various representations of
Jesus—from the reverential to the controversial—on the silver
screen.”

Nominated for 3 Oscars in 1967 for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White, Best Costume Design, Black-and-White and Best Music, Scoring of Music, Adaptation or Treatment

Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
Starring: Enrique Irazoque, Susanna Pasolini, Mario Socrate, Marcello Morante

    Christ’s life is presented with respect for the traditional religious doctrine of the Church, but Pasolini’s trademark naturalism “humanizes” his subject and makes him his own. The documentary-style camera captures Christ’s meetings with the men who were to become his disciples, the Last Supper, the betrayal by Judas, and the Crucifixion. The impassioned music of Bach, Mozart, and Prokofiev lends a further aura of spiritual intensity to the proceedings.
